They say you learn something new every day Jacque, and in my case/age I think that is because I forget something also!! The list is a great place to get brain cells talking to each other again, and many thanks for your frequent contributions.
I'm using LC 6.6.3 on Mavericks and the Dictionary doesn't work as you suggest, it just sorts the contents of the dictionary columns by Type, which does put all the type "properties" together, but not all of the properties for a given object. Klaus's suggestion (put the properties of btn "foo" into tP;put the keys of tP) seems to be the easiest way of getting a list of an objects properties. However, whilst fiddling with the preferences for the documentation, I noticed that there was not one entry under the Notes column, plus there was no "btn" synonym for "button" which made me wonder what others were missing, plus the User Contributed Notes seemed very sparse. I'm not sure if I stuck it in the correct place, but I have submitted a User Contributed Note in "button" saying "btn" is a synonym of "button", and another in "properties" giving Klaus's suggestion to get a list of an objects properties. We'll see what happens ;-) best, Bob... Bob Earp - White Rock, British Columbia > You can see all the properties of any object in the dictionary: > > 1. Select the object in left-hand column. > 2.
