It worked when I deleted
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

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?
