Paul,

Thanks for your response. Here is a (correctly formed) method that does not seem to show up in the speedbar:
/**
* Returns a server communication manager object which allows the user of
* this task context to monitor or control a Metaphase method server
* throughout the duration of one or more Metaphase method calls.
*/
public final _ServerCommunicationMgr _getServerCommunicationMgr()
^

Here is the problem. The regular expressions used to index a buffer assume the convention that class names begin with a capital letter. Variable names are assumed to begin with an underscore or lower case letter. If I modify the regular expressions to allow class names to begin with an underscore, the indexer will not be able to differentiate between class names and variable names and this will invalidate all of the regular expressions. The dilemma is either variable names or class names can begin with an underscore, but not both. If your coding convention allows class names but not variables to begin with underscores, it would be feasible to alter the regular expressions to support your convention.
