Thanks for your info - that it could/should work.

I have tried the earlier version - and pressing 'Ctrl-Q' (*) quits the
program - and the screen gets slightly corrupted - but pressing F12 and
Rtn Rtn - and I am back in business - so it looks as if I can't see the
DDT windows.

I suppose you can't remember which version of 'ViewFinder' software you
were using back then?

(*) using '!Librarian' - seems way faster than '!PDF' manuals.

I was wondering whether the manuals could be converted to 'ebook' format
to show on something like the 'Kindle'. 

Thanks
