Actually, I just double-click the function name and hold down the command or option keys, and voila, I get either the header for it, or the HTML help reference entry. I admit, it's a little hidden, but it's there, and it's documented.

I would love to know how fast it works for you. It takes about 10 seconds to look up a request in the documentation on my PowerMac 2x800Mhz 512MB RAM machine. Requesting the declaration in the header file takes considerable less time, and fortunately most of the time I merely need to be reminded of the parameters to pass a function so this works well. It would be nice if the documentation was faster. Come to think of it, just browsing the documentation is rather slow, too.

It's a good throw away from 10 seconds. Feels more like 3 or 4. Yes, HTML help in PB is awfully slow (I hope they switch Help Viewer to Safari's engine for 10.3 and finally change PB to use that instead of its own windows...).

That's on an iBook 600.
