My answer is not much help because I don't use AHLookupAnchor (I use AHGotoPage). But it occurs to me that it might be best to ask on the Apple Help Implementors list. Since you appear to be doing everything correctly, my first suggestion would be to clean out the help cache and restart the machine, because Help is notoriously touchy, and blank pages are a typical sign of its touchiness. I take it that anchor indexing is turned on in the Help Indexer prefs, right? But I recommend that you *uncheck* "Use remote root" because this is just the sort of thing that results in these blank hangs, while the Help tries to connect to the Internet for no reason at all... m. -- matt neuburg, phd = m...@tidbits.com, <http://www.tidbits.com/matt/> A fool + a tool + an autorelease pool = cool!
