Hi Keith

Yes it does look like the currentDestination docs leaves a lot to be desired. I 
think there’s a couple of missing related items which is making the document 
display incorrectly. I’ve created an issue for that here 
https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23493

Here’s a simple example of using the currentDestination though:

local tDest
put "goto" into tDest["type”]
put "Fit" into tDest["mode”]
put 3 into tDest["page”]
set the currentDestination of widget “pdf" to tDest

Cheers

Monte
