I understand what's wrong but I'll need your help before
checking your patch. Since you already looked at that
code I'll ask you first before looking at the code myself -
isn't it better  to rip the link wrapping code out of
man2hlp.c and move it in the help viewer ? I think this
would be better fix in the long term.

Thanks!
