Links to external files have additional executable prepended in the link part (since v2.19)

Description
Links to external INF files don't work in v2.19 anymore. They have an additional 'view.exe' prepended. Therefore the started INF file viewer tries to open VIEW.EXE as an INF file and the original link part as search string.
Example: (link to cmdref.inf)
:link reftype=launch object='view.exe' data='cmdref'.cmdref:elink.
Result:
The status bar shows it already: view.exe view.exe cmdref
The same applies to links to HLP files. External links using other executables were not tested.
2.19 beta 4 works, 2.19 shows the bug. I hope it will be fixed soon, before the final eCS 2.0 rc. Thanks.

The issue occurs also for Netscape (WEB browser) links etc.
I haven't recognized that before, because I use v2.19b4.
