Help fixes & Misc.

a) This one has nothing to do with the help browser, but with the viewer. Go to mc.1 and try F3-F8-F8. No fix included, it was out of my way...

b) man2hlp. Look for '.' only at beginning of line, to let '\&' lines show. There were some lines missing in the English help. I think it's enough to check the whole "buffer2" instead of the stripped "buffer" for commands.

c) Skip empty help nodes (with 'n' and similars). I found d)

d) Some fixes in help.c to avoid going past the end of the file with incorrect help files (improbable?).

So here are the tiny diff's and the changes to the help
files to force these crashes. Some translation updates as well.

BTW, I've seen something in the doc/ru help about getting the original English man page. Could I have an English version of that piece to translate it. My ru???? is quite poor...
