That sounds right; this is the main document window that has columns and groups. It would be great if someone wanted to clean up the terminology in the help...Texinfo is pretty easy. > - is there any doc describing what (in the current versions) the >various windows are and contain? I looked, but came up dry. All the preference panes are documented, and the main window and editor window(s) are documented under Managing References (Editing and Browsing subtopics). >And finally, when I drag a file containing a bibtex entry onto the >'central' window, I get this file added to the entry I drop the file >onto, instead of getting a new entry. What am I missing? Try moving your file around until the entire tableview is highlighted (between rows or near the edge). If a row is highlighted, it adds to that row. If the entire table is highlighted, it adds a new ref. Dropping on a group might be an easier target. The drop highlight should give you a pretty good idea of what it's going to do, though. hth, adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
