>- see footer for list info -< Funnily enough the list of cf functions is one of the things I missed but recently have found I no longer need it (although I do admittedly have to some times refer to http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/function.htm#wp308286 2)
It might be an idea to add a feature request. Did I mention there are 2 in-built browsers - one of these I requested (and was it was added almost the next day) specifically for referring to online help.
