Dear Liberty Basic Community,
I dared to extract something from another application.
The origin of the application lies in the application "Contact Manager"
resp. the application "simple help".
resp. the application "simple help".
Well, I have become successful so far so that the "application" works in its original version.
But unfortunately only half.
But unfortunately only half.
The index for the help is originally 13 points.
If I let it start, there is an error message, "out of range"
I reduce this, as shown in the error report, the application runs perfectly to just 10 points.

So far I have not been able to find out what could be.
I have already spent half a day finding out where Omin could be a mistake.

I am happy to add the code to you and someone sees my mistake.
I want to apologize for my bad English my main language is German and my English centories are not very good.
Kind regards
