Thanks Noah,
It was accessible under Tools. And thanks for the info: re PTS page. If one has
a PTS page, is there a way of going directly to the text (via the PTS page) in
DPR?
Also, if I have a word I want to look up in the commentaries, how do I do that?
Thanks very much for your help,
Best wishes, Bryan

Dear Bryan,
Once you install the extension, there should be a button on the status
bar (an open book), or you can access from the Tools menu. You can also
add a button to the toolbar.
The PTS page numbers are given in the text with the small, blue "P"s.
Just hover over one, and you will get the page number... I am not sure
if I can make it more accessible than that, but I'll think about a way.
Best wishes,
Yuttadhammo
