Heh, sorry to point this out friend, but your math is wrong.
GET_MAX_HIT - GET_MAX_HIT + 1 = 1
there is no 0 or lower than 0 to it.  (any number) - (itself) + 1 = 1

Sorry, couldn't resist pointing out one of the most obvious rules
of basic mathematics.

ObCircle:

  Heh, I have finally made hedit properly save_internally.
I've just gotta clean up the code to make it readable, and it'll work
fine.  I'm not gonna make a patch, b/c I see no point.

I added three extra functions (add_help_color(), get_a_line() and copy_help())
get_a_line take two strings as an argument, and returns
the first line (terminated with either a '\r' or a '\n' so it can
    be used before or after a strip_cr() function)
and returns a pointer to the rest of the line AFTER the \r\n or \n.
add_help_color() is for those of you who would like to add color
to their help files.

This also includes a simple addition to db.c.

Anyway, if anyone would like to get ahold of this (i know many would)
just e-mail me.)
