kind of related: I (and from what I read, some other people too) would like the help browser to be resizable. This also helps when there are so many entries in it. also on my wishlist, even remotely-er related: A 'create new folder' button in the savepanel :) Personally I wouldn't mind if the help-browser were just another browser like the openpanel and savepanel ones, but which opens in the help location. gr, Tim
