Thank you, and when desperate I daresay I will try a free text search through the RTF or whatever. In this particular case though I would never have found the word 'CLUT' because it's not there. What I really want is a more extended and at the same time accessible structure in the online documentation - like a chapter called 'all about color'. We kind of have this in the 'See Also' pulldowns, but they do involve a large amount of shifting around - for example, there are 14 'See Also's for the colorMap entry, and each and every one has to be investigated just to see if it will shed any light on colour (sorry I'm British) management. Now in fact I also see that there is an article 'about colors and color specifications' (which I suspect doesn't cover each and every property and command relating to colour), but this isn't headlined anywhere. It's a subsection of 'Appearance and Positioning' in the Development Guide, and only a careful reading of the right hand list that comes up when you pick this topic reveals the 'colors' article.
Graham,
If you would rather have a copy of the 1.1.1 docs in TEXT, RTF or PDF format that you can do searches through with Word, Acrobat etc., you can get a copy at my site:

... go to the Downloads section.
After I wrote > Thanks yet again, colorMap turns out to be what I was looking for. Iwish the docs had a more comprehensive search facility - I don't know when (if ever) I would have come across the term colorMap if you> hadn't pointed it out... >
In practice I have often found that I can't make the connections without knowing the vocabulary first - so in a way I am just looking for a better tool for scanning the docs, but not an unstructured search except as a last resort. I wouldn't say all this but for the fact that quite a lot of the answers given by those with True Knowledge on the list to the rest of us, are basically of the form 'have you looked at a certain bit of the documentation?' IMHO there must be a reason for this.
Just my two pence (UK) or two (Euro) cents.
Graham
