For Xojo, since I sometimes use older versions, I usually choose the offline 
(local) version. Since the online version is always for the latest IDE and it 
requires an Internet connection (often not getting an immediate reply, also), I 
don't see much reason to connect around the world to read something unrelated 
to my product if the local version is better.

For MBS, there can't be a “built-in” window like Xojo (at least, I guess). If 
it were the case, I'd happily browse a MBS local documentation from within the 
IDE. However, looking for the MBS documentation file on my hard disks is harder 
(I actually have never bothered with other folders than the one containing the 
plugin files).

Ah, I always wondered why various calls in your plugin were made that way 
(using methods). I thought it was just your choice, a preference. Glad I was 
wrong.
