You asked what you should do to read the documentation from a package. If you want to read a package's documentation, you should install or at least download the package. Not rocket science there. If your intent is to browse the documentation for dozens of random packages in the hope that you might need one, I would submit that you're going about it wrong. If your intent is to browse the documentation for dozens of packages in order to determine if one will meet your needs, I would submit that you should instead use a search engine. -- Nathan Poznick <poznick@conwaycorp.net> The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. - Oscar Wilde
