Wine/Gecko update required?

Hi- as a longtime user of AceMoney (Mac OS X), I seldom look at Help Topics. However, I would like to see the keyboard shortcuts. When I tried to access <Help>, I got a message indicating that Wine required a Gecko update?!? I'm technical but this particular area isn't in my wheelhouse. I gather that Wine is a Windows emulator for OS X but I've never heard of Gecko. But it is painfully obvious to me that the OS X version of A$ is not a native app- rather the Windows version operating in a shell.

Can anyone speak to this Gecko requirement?

Thank you.

Correct.

I can't comment to that, as I don't know exactly how MechCAD uses Wine. So you will have to take this up with MechCAD Support directly. I do know that MechCAD is planning a new release of AceMoney for OSX Catalina, so maybe the Gecko issue will be addressed too, if it hasn't already. Who knows. You will have to ask MechCAD about that.
