Hi Kee, I found that any search term input seems to just look at the Mac’s HelpViewer app that is located under the system library core services. I haven’t found where it stores it’s files yet or if I can put my own stuff in there somewhere. What I do instead of that is provide links to my user

AFAIK the “Search” feature in the Help menu is mainly for searching Menu items, try it while you are in Mail and search for “Accounts”, then each menu item that contains “Accounts” will appear at the top of the list with more generic Apple “Accounts” related subjects below. As you mouse over

Building a macOS app and in the Help menu, the top menu item is “Search” with a search field. How do I populate the data that gets searched so that answers to questions about the app can live there? Trying to search for “search” and “Menu” is not useful. Thanks, Kee Nethery

Quick question...we have some specific info in LC we need to put in a LiveCode web script to be run online. But we need to protect the content. Can we put that in a password protected script, drop it online and add it in as an "Include"?? Thanks, this would be SUPER helpful, Todd

After hours of playing around with this problem, it looks to me like a Menubar has to be shifted into that upward position in order for it to work in a standalone. (If you can prove me wrong on this please proceed! I would love to see a work around that really works!) (This seems a bit crazy

Hmmm. Here is what I tried, and the hilites 'stick' across all cards in the stack: - create stack - add 2 radio buttons - group them - set the sharedHilite of each radio to true - add another generic button to the card - group the newest button with the group of radios - make new card - place
