The on-line help has a larger list(under other information: menu commands), but it does seem to have holes in it. In some cases the commands aren't given separate billing so they are hard to find. TextData, CounterBox, TextBox etc are examples of this. They don't have separate listing in the index or in the Mathematica book, but they are explained somewhat in the section on manipulating cells. Sometimes, you have to just leaf through the pages to find the commands. Not ideal, I know. Another good place to look is in the various system files like init.m or in the .tr files. These contain much code to set options and even define the drop down menus. You can find some under-documented commands there too. Sorry I don't know of a single place where you can find full documentationo on the front end. I have been whining for a front end manual ever since 3.0 came out. -- Remove the _nospam_ in the return address to respond.
