Actually I have not used FIF for a long time. ;-) I either use ctag or grep to locate names. Since I already used git to clone the repository, under the base7 directory.
$ git grep Public= main/jade/load.ijs:Public=: i. 0 2 main/jade/load.ijs:Public=: sort ~. Public,~ short,.long I meant one can ask in forum where any name is defined and why it is not documented in help files. Rather than answer them one by one, it would be better to teach them to fish.
