You could even require that anyone using the framework create their documentation using the standard plug in/bundle format so that you could just provide the name of the bundle and your framework would automatically be able to load the content into the HUD window. -Mic 2009/5/19 Daniel Kennett <li...@kennettnet.co.uk>: > Hi Mic, > > Thanks for your feedback.
