PDF version of dictionary?

[barryb at libero.it]

Hi all,

I agree that the new online docs are very useful, especially as all 
my 
IDE dictionaries in 3.0, 3.5, have become corrupted since I mixed 
stacks 
from different versions  and opened them in 4.0 beta.
I have deleted the 
affected app version files as suggested by Jacque 
Landman Gay but the new 
installs still have the dictionaries corrupted. I haven't yet installed my new 
version of 4.0 

But what I really wanted to comment on is the fact that, 
despite 
RuntimeRevolution being the "non plus ultra" of hyperlinking, the Rev 

Manual is still a static document that requires yards of scrolling to reach 
a 
given argument. 

With my first version, 2.7, I spent a rainy afternoon making 
an HTML 
version of the Manual with hrefs from the index to each subchapter.

Unfortunately, due to the frequency of Rev upgrades this soon became 
obsolete 
and I am amazed to find we still have  to scroll through 400 
pages. And on the 
web too!

I seem to remember a thing called HyperCard that had all its 

documentation in stacks. Wouldn't this have been a good way to also
demonstrate 
some of  the wonders of RR ?
Apparently PDFs can also have dynamic indexes and 
hyperlinks.

Ok,  I'm running for cover!
Best regards Barry Barber
