Hi All, I am using Mathematica 7.0 on a dual processor Linux system and am seeing that if I bring up the Function Navigator - Add Ons & Packages - Add Ons and then select the Help for AddOn packages from version 5.2 (a bunch of nb under the Documentation/English directory) the cpu usage increases to unacceptable values - Mathematica usage from about 10% to 20% and xorg usage from a few % to over 80%. Currently I just open and then close the help browser which is inconvenient. I would like to keep it open as I work. Is this "normal" or is it something I can fix? Is Mathematica doing something in the background as I use these for the first time and should I just be patient and it will finally finish up? Do I need to do something to "rebuild" the legacy help for Version 7.0? Thanks for any help. Ron Burns -- R. R. Burns Physicist (Retired) Oceanside, CA
