James, Most of the NS*** documentation is reachable from AppKit and Foundation main pages: file:///Developer/Documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/ObjC_classic/ AppKitTOC.html and file:////Developer/Documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/ObjC_classic/FoundationTOC. html I just stick these two in the toolbar links in IE, and I can usually find what I want scanning the index, but you can also grep in these two directories for some of the stuff. The PB folks are working on better help searches, but that is not all there yet. At least in the latest version of PB they use their own help viewer, rather than Help Viewer... The NSAddImage etc calls are pretty obscurely documented, mostly in release notes. Don't know exactly this is, but these are not really normal user level calls, the NSBundle API's are the higher level user-friendly loading calls... As Daniel says, you can run /usr/libexec/makewhatis. I think this was supposed to be run as part of the devtools post-install script, but got left out somehow. We also need to figure out a better way to do the cron stuff. Most Unix machines never sleep & never get turned off, and a lot of the traditional unix self-care stuff is based on this assumption. That is not true for most Mac's, but you also wouldn't want to have your mac start churning with all the cron stuff it had missed when you turn it on in the morning. The systems folks are working on some elegant solution for this, but till then you may have to do some stuff by hand...
