Whilst there is no denying that Rev Docs need improvements, and I tend to agree with Richmond that it's sometimes easy to find what your looking for with the old 2.6 Docs, a slightly different approach to your search above would have found what your are looking for in the current Docs. If you were to open the Docs and click on A-Z Dictionary and then type into the search field each of the words above, as single words, although 'open' and 'file' would have resulted in a vast number of useless leads, 'application' would have given you the answer you were looking for. Note, that if you cntrl-click (on Mac, don't know about Win) on the column headers a pop-up menu comes up with the option to select which columns are presented. I suggest, Keyword, Type, Syntax, Synonyms and Platforms as a minimum. In the above search, having the Syntax available to look at would have lead you to the Launch command as the solution to your problem. If the above words had not found the result you wanted I'd have tried similar words such as start, launch, document, process, program. Some would have got me nowhere but some would have lead me to the answer. As a last resort, and usually quicker, and as you did, I'd have come to this List and asked;-) I like searching the A-Z Dictionary for single words and investigating some of the more interesting results. Going to individual entries I particularly like to check out the "See Also" entries. Whilst I generally spend longer searching for what I 'need', the number of times I've 'discovered' something new along the way I couldn't count. These discoveries have then led me to experiment with Rev in ways I'd not initially contemplated, improve the efficiency of my code, or just remained in the back of my mind as 'I could probably put that to good use some time'. But then again, I've learned far more from this List:-) Enjoy the Revolution _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
