Hi Dar,

1.
the ABC-checkmark button shows you're in auto-complete
mode ; other modes are 'Find and Replace' and 'Go to
line' ; you can pick one at a time from the 'View'
menu.
How does 'Auto-complete' mode work ? If you type
ctrl-# then the word with that number will be
inserted.
Example:
- if you type 'on mouseU'
- then you'll see '1. mouseUp  2. mouseUpInBackdrop'
- now type ctrl-2 and the script editor will finish
typing the word 'mouseUpInBackdrop' for you.

2.
select the command/function/keyword in question, and
use menu 'View' > item 'Look up selection in
Transcript dictionary'

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
