So, there are two ways to get rid of that empty space on the right:

1) Shrink the window from 63 chars to HELP_TEXT_WIDTH (58 chars).
   This will cause some difficulties due to the usage of preformatted
   text - need to revise the help files for all languages, to check
   if they fit in the window, and fix them if necessary.

2) Expand HELP_TEXT_WIDTH to the effective window width (63 chars).
   IMHO this is better. Besides, I think it would be nice to leave
   a margin in one column between a text and a frame.
   Should I try and do it?
   What do you think?
