Winhugs: Wrong options settings / cannot open Prelude

[Sigbjorn Finne]

Hi,

thanks for the report. The Options dialog is unfortunately
broken in the released version of WinHugs. The problem
has been fixed in the current sources, but until a new version
is out (whenever that might be) my only suggestion is to
stay away from using that dialog. Sorry.

To bring your install of WinHugs back to life, remove the
-F"" bit at the end of your Options setting.
