For those of you searching for a quantitative evaluation of the 
completeness of Jeanne's documentation, do a search for space (just 
hit the space bar) in the "Search Revolution Documentation" plug-in 
in RunRev 2.0.

You will find: "3052 topics containing " "

Presumably this is a complete list. Astonishing!

Moral: Be careful what you search for. In my search for space I have 
learned what the Sorcerer's Apprentice learned.

P.S. In RunRev 2.0 I find that Rev often freezes when  "Script 
debugger mode" is selected from the development menu. (Command period 
to unfreeze.) And when in the debugging mode, the "Step over" very 
often "Steps into." (I switch back to 1.1.1 for debugging.) Anyone 
else with these problem?  (Mac OS 9, G4 PowerBook.)

Also, a small cross-platform issue. In OS 9, the "/" as part of a 
menu item, results in a keyboard shortcut. In OS X, "/" is just 
another character.
