The commands Check for missing Help Topics and Create missing Help Topics have been completely revised.
Both commands are now part of the newly added NCHB Ghostwriter.

The Preview DE command has been removed.
Preview now displays a preview where the language-dependent texts are converted to English or to German depending on the folder.
