Changes and Fixes in 5.3.2 - October 2, 1999
Changes
   File Buddy now moves the online help folder into the system's Help folder when using MacOS 8.5 or later. This is required to access fully the features of the Appe Help Viewer.

Fixes
   Searching the online help in the Apple Help Viewer of OS 8.6 now actually searches File Buddy's help if the File Buddy Help folder has been moved to the location described in the document 'MacOS 8.6 and Online Help'.
   File Buddy could not locate the File Buddy Support folder for some users. Symptoms are an inability to access the online help and plug-ins not showing up. Fixed.
   Searching for items created/modified after a date and time ignored the time. Fixed.
   Fixed a bug in contextual menus for text fields. The Select All command is now available and the additional commands in those menus now work correctly.
   In some cases, finding duplicates in a file list selection could produce duplicate copies of the same file if the file appeared more than once in the list. Fixed.
