Thanks, this is certainly a good way to find every occurrence of 
something... but I don't see it as particularly structured, as the 
search turned up too many references for one to be able to read them 
all.

OK, I accept that I'm never going to get the ideal reference 
material, but I would rather see (for example) 'second' and 'seconds' 
appear in the Dictionary in normal alphabetical style with each usage 
discussed in turn, which is what Richard Gaskin, Ken Ray and Chris 
Watson managed with the SuperCard docs (see Richard's recent mail).

Of course there are other ways of approaching what Transcipt can do 
apart from just reading a dictionary: I very much appreciate those 
sections of the docs discussing the 'how to' of specific areas of 
functionality, and I am always keen to look at stuff on the 
underlying structure, for example the message path, the divergence 
between different platforms, etc etc - subjects which don't fit in 
with the Dictionary approach. I appreciate that there is already 
excellent material in the existing documentation, and I am really 
making these points just to point to an ideal rather than in a spirit 
of grumbling. Anyway I will certainly use the Wiki from time to time.

Thanks again

Graham
