Not sure if I did something wrong but I followed the link posted by you in comp.lang.rex to the documentation package for the 4.0.0 alpha release and downloaded it (PDF only). The Readme PDF is still for 3.1.2 RC1! The Reference looks to be OK and says it is for "Version 4.0.0 (beta) Edition

Wow, first of all I'm really impressed by the speed of your response Gil. Mark, I had thought of searching the sgml, but I find it quite hard working out where I am in it. Had I known what a bore acrobat readers search facility was I probably would have gone for the sgml, but having started Ijus

Interesting! New tool to me but I suppose SlickEdit's reg.exp. search would also work (but I've never actually used it). I have the Ref. manual SVN checked out and updated but will need to checkout the OODialog manual before I can attack the doc. tracker item. Sahananda (Jon) Wolfers wrote: > >

Hi, during a long train journey I found over 100 examples in our manuals, oodialog classes and sample code of usage of call function(parms) is that usage ever correct? Would it be usefull to purge these examples? If so I'm happy to open a tracker. list is below - as I had no internet available,
