Jacque likes the old one because it loads faster (has about 10-15% fewer tokens), which is useful for quick syntax checking while scripting.

But I wonder if it would be worthwhile making another utility for that, a very lean index of tokens with just the params and a one-line summary of its use, with a button to open the full entry in the Dictionary if needed.

Would that be useful?
Anyone want to make it?

I wouldn't use it. It reminds me too much of RR's multiple-file help system, which I don't like.


I'm open to replacing the old dictionary with the new, but I don't see any reason to have more than one reference. The syntax for each command is at the very top of the dictionary so it is easy to find, and if I want to read a longer explanation then the material is already right there; no extra clicks and loading involved.
