I am running Firefox 3.6.13
And Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U23Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_23 for Mozilla browsers, both the current versions.
I restated the system after updating JAVA. It did not help.
The Rasch procedure runs. I was trying to look at help to understand what it is trying to do.
Has anybody had this problem?

Is scripting enabled in your browser? Tools > Options; Content tab, "Enable JavaScript"? Also note that by running SPSSINC RASCH /HELP. in the syntax window, you'll get some brief help in the output Viewer on the syntax options. Alex

Is scripting enabled in your browser? Tools > Options; Content tab, "Enable JavaScript"? Yes it is. Jon Peck said: I see that you get these strange notes specifically when you search for help in the extension commands that lead to Tutorial topics, but the topics are functional anyway. However, you won't find out anything statistically interesting about Rasch from those topics. Rasch shows up in the help only in the context of how to create R-based extension commands. To get help on the underlying Rasch module, run this.Art On 2/1/2011 2:00 PM, Alex Reutter wrote: ===================== To manage your subscription to SPSSX-L, send a message to [hidden email] (not to SPSSX-L), with no body text except the command.

Hmm. I don't have a good answer for the problem with the browser. For getting help on Rasch modeling, what Kim has said is correct, but I would add that while the "regular" help topics only discuss the SPSSINC RASCH extension command in the context of how to create extension commands, clicking on the Help button in the Rasch dialog (Analyze > Scale > Rasch Model...) does bring up help on using the Rasch dialogs and running SPSSINC RASCH /HELP. will bring up help on using the SPSSINC RASCH syntax. Kim's suggestion below will tell you about the R module and the computations it's making, but does not tell you anything about running the Statistics extension command. Alex

Ah, our internal help guru suggests: 1) Quit Statistics. 2) Delete C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Eclipse\com.ibm.spss.statistics.help_19. 3) Restart Statistics and try your search again. If you were a beta customer and missed the instruction to delete that folder (at the time the uninstall process was unable to automatically remove that folder), then you might see this problem as the result of a stale index.

C:\Users\Art\AppData\Roaming\Eclipse\com.ibm.spss.statistics.help_19 The difference in the file location may be due to windows version. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. However to be safe I did this. 1) Quit Statistics. 2) Rename C:\Users\Art\AppData\Roaming\Eclipse\com.ibm.spss.statistics.help_19 to C:\Users\Art\AppData\Roaming\Eclipse\com.ibm.spss.statistics.help_19xx 3) reboot 4) Restart Statistics and try your search again. 5) Delete C:\Users\Art\AppData\Roaming\Eclipse\com.ibm.spss.statistics.help_19xx Art Kendall On 2/1/2011 4:52 PM, Alex Reutter wrote: ===================== To manage your subscription to SPSSX-L, send a message to [hidden email] (not to SPSSX-L), with no body text except the command.

Note that there is a toolbar button in
the navigation pane to hide the "descriptions" of the topics.
