The actual scroll-pane sequence is:
With the Add-ons radio button clicked...
Extra Utilities -> Notation -> Functions
If this is not what you're observing, you may want to do a sanity check
by evaluating the following expression in a notebook:
FrontEndExecute[FrontEnd`HelpBrowserLookup["AddOns", "Functions"]]
If that produces a beep, the next thing that I would do would be to have
the front end to rebuild the Help Index. This is done with the front
end menu command seqence:
Help -> Rebuild Help Index
Repeat the FrontEndExecute[] command thereafter. If this produces the
same beep error, then browse the hard drive where Mathematica is
installed. You can do this by evaluating the following commands:
SetDirectory[
ToFileName[{$TopDirectory,"AddOns", "ExtraPackages","Utilities",
"Documentation", "English"}]]
FileNames[]
This should return
{"BrowserCategories.m","NotationDocumentation.nb","NotationSource.nb"}
Either of the first two files is missing, you've found the source of
your problem. Copy the files off of the Mathematica CD-ROM into this
directory and then rebuild the Help Index.
