I can imagine updating the help index manually is pretty laborious and even an up-to-date index won't help when you're searching for the concept using a different string. The updateable index proposed earlier in this thread could point to help pages too - but would need updating if the documents changed substantially. > now, it's hard to know where to go for different topics. > is google desktop the answer?

Right click in ijs or ijx window. Choose Find in Files... Click the "Help" tab Type in your search string in the "Find what:" Choose "All" from the "Look in:" drop down box Click "Find" button. If you don't find the answer you're looking for there, then you might try searching the comments in the scripts in the System library. Choose the "Folders" tab Type in your search string in the "Find what:" Choose System in the "In folders:" drop down box (or type in ~system) Click "Find" button. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
