Eviews does not respond or crash when using close-command in User-object

I have made a user-object that opens some documentation when viewed. This is what runs when a user views this object:
However, I want the object-view (that says "HELPME object") to close after the spawn-command has opened the documentation.
I have tried including the following, but the object does not automatically close.
For testing, I have also tried being explicit in the code, writing "close objectname", but then my program crashes more often than not (and this solution is of no real use to me - I would prefer to use "_this.@name", or a similar solution).
I don't see any apparant reason why "close _this.@name" shouldn't work in this case, so I assume it is a bug.
