I hit f2 to get focus, and then I was able to stretch out the pop-up, and get all text.

Now I am using 100% **free with no punch-card code. Maybe that makes the difference.

**free has been out for close to 6-years now.

Not to hijack this thread... but, I have several functions where this doesn't work completely. It shows the interface parameters, but not the comments. I can't figure out why these several prototypes won't show the comments.

For me this is a very useful tool, so I've been using lots of comments in my /copy source for prototypes.

Hi all, I'm on RDI 9.6.0.6.

When I hover over a function, RDI retrieve the full prototype definition and the preceding comments (help text). Very nice and useful but I ask myself if the fact it's reporting only the first 80 characters is a bug or there is an option somewhere controlling this behavior?

TIA
