Hi every one.  
In the IDE under Help it offers the possibility to download the offline reference.

If I click the button it starts downloading but then I cannot find it.

How do I excess the offline reference?  
Cheers, Adriaan.

Take a look in your _sketchbook folder_ for the downloaded _reference.zip_ file:

CTRL-SHIFT-F I needed to look up MAJ… all sorted now.

Once you download the reference this does indeed work!
