Thanks Dar, I also just found it. I guess I didn't see it because it is the first entry, at the top of the list, just as you noted. The old saying "Can't see the forest from the trees" is at play here.

I didn't need to select the API tab or the LiveCode Script API, those were selected. I typed "any" in the search box, but did not hit return or click the search button. A list containing "mobilPickMedia" showed up. Right above it, all by itself so it can be lost, is the word "any". I clicked on it and I got a description. Of course, if one is learning the language... Why would anybody think to look for "any"? > On Jun 5, 2016, at 4:06 PM, Jerry Jensen <je...@jhjensen.com> wrote: > > I just spent a few minutes in the 8.0.1 dictionary and did not find it.
