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.

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.

thnks for your reply.
Is scripting enabled in your browser?
Tools > Options; Content tab, "Enable JavaScript"?
Yes it is.

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.
begin program r.
library(ltm)
help(rasch)
end program.

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.

When I type "Rasch" into the edit box for help I get this note
under each entry in the left pane.

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?
