I just managed to make Scid unstartable by altering help.tcl but it
was OK when I undid the changes. This is the main bit of what I
tried:-
Import PGN (Pgnscid replacement)
In help.tcl delete lines 3860-3926 inclusive. Then insert the below.
#########
### Import PGN help:
set helpTitle(Import PGN) "Import PGN"
set helpText(Import PGN) {<h1>Import PGN (or Pgnscid)</h1>
<p>
<term>Import</term> is an inbuilt function used to convert <a PGN>PGN</a>
(portable game notation) files into Scid databases. </p>
<p>
For example, to convert a file named <i>myfile.pgn</i> to a new Scid
database, you would create a new empty database (with whatever name you
choose) then import the pgn. To create the new database you would click:
<ul>
<li> <b>File - New</b> (Save dialog appears to type a name in)
<b>"newname.si4"</b> </li>
</ul>
This creates the 3 files of the new scid database(consisting of
<i>newname.si4</i>, <i>newname.sg4</i> and <i>newname.sn4</i>).
Any errors or warnings will be written to the file
<i>newname.err</i>.
</p>
<p>
If you want the database to be created in a different directory
simply switch to that directory in the Save Dialog.
</p>
<p>
Note that the import function can <b>not</b> read Gzipped
<a PGN>PGN</a> files (e.g. <b>mybase.pgn.gz</b>) so you
<b>must</b> unzip them first. Most all zip programs can do this.
Windows 10 has the inbuilt ability.
</p>
<p>
The second step is to import the pgn file by clicking
<li> <b>Database - Import</b> (Scid Dialog appears to type in a name)
<b>"newname.si4"</b> </li>
</p>
<p>
You can edit (and even spellcheck) player, event, site and round
names in Scid; see the <a Maintenance Editing>Maintenance</a> help
page for details.
</p>

In addition, I replaced all occurences of Pgnscid with Import except
for one. Don't even know how to start debugging. This was on Windows
10 by the way but I think I should stop trying to run before I can
walk. lol !!
Thanks
Good Night
