There has been some talk about how the search function in the Help
file is broken.
I had forgotten about this workaround until I used it without thinking.
When you search for a keyword and Help takes you to the top of a large
page. Left click on the right hand pane and press Ctrl + F to bring up a
search box. There you can search for your keyword.

Some of the pages are simply too long. I can barely grab onto the
scrollbar handle.

Yes, section 3 is huge. It shoulod be broken down to more manageable
chunks, like a section for the primitives, one for the lights, one for
the cameras,...

That is why the pop up search box is handy. The focus jumps to the first
found search item. At least in the windows version it does.

It is still a PITA to scroll up and down that page though. It's hard to
grab the scrollbar handle, and when you do grab it you can't move it in
small increments. This is easily solvable by just splitting the page
into a few smaller portions.

If you have a few hours available to invest into scrolling through that
page... Beter use the Page Up and page Down keys to navigate here.

I think I've also noticed the page not loading 100% before the program
tries to resolve a link or index. I.e. the navigation falls short of the
target anchor because the page hasn't fully loaded yet. Which shouldn't
happen in document stored on the local hard drive.

If I have the time I may look at the docs and see why the indices are
all messed up. It should be a simple but maybe tedious task, since I've
worked on HTML Help documents in the past.
