I see that I can get exactly where I want to go by clicking in Quick Help, but what I'm wondering is if there's a way to avoid Quick Help as an intermediary. m.

But that just summons the Quick Help dialog. What I'm asking is precisely how to *avoid* this and go *directly* in the *full* documentation window to the API to which the Quick Help is linked, like what Command-Option-double-click used to do. I don't think there's a way. Unless you're seeing a different behaviour? m.
