Thanks. The program is a bit lacking as it does not support bookmarks,
and annoying as search terms stay highlighted (I could find no way to
unhighlight them). The options menu and other aspects seem poorly
designed, as well.

I suppose that this is an adequate software, but I will look for
something better. Thanks.
