Thanks to this forum I have gotten JSEclipse installed, in the right way, I think?  At least if I open up a file with the JS extension JSEclipse comes up in eclipse.  I do not see how to start JSEclipse from eclipse without opening up a JS extension file.  Nor do I see how to bring up JSEclipse help.  The help menu I see under help on the top of the screen is eclipse help not JSEclipse.  So how to lie start learning about how to use JSEclipse.  I am particularly interested in auto completion. How can I use auto complete and can you auto complete DOM stuff llike parentNode and childNode. I do not know if those things even exist with exactly that spelling in the DOM that's why I need auto complete So to summarize my questions are

1.  How do I bring up JSEclipse without making it come up by opening up a JS file?

2. How do I bring up JSEclipse help not eclipse help?

3. How can I learned what auto complete can do and how it works.

Very sincerely
Marc
 

PS - I may have been a little quick to ask all that I have asked above.  I have found the manual by searching in support I still do not know how to bring up this manual from help inside eclipse but perhaps that isn't  important since I have bookmarked this manual.  However since my comments above I have other issues.  In your manual I read about code completion which seems to work like other code completion in other editors I have used.  I mean ctrl+space-bar is supposed to bring up code completion and it doesn't.  To be exact if I tied inside the confines of a JS file the letters doc and press  ctrl+space-bar nothing happens.  I need this level of code completion since I am dyslexic and have found other editors able to code complete on as few as two letters or at least give one a list from which to pick the code word.  I have searched this forum for other people who have gotten no code completion what I find there is mentioned a library.  So does JSEclipse out-of-the-box have the code completion library necessary for simple code completion.  And if possible is there any one who might share a DOM code completion library with me.

I have also tried the right-click way of bringing up the code completion in this fails as well.  I am writing you with the aid of some voice-recognition software so I really need this type of language help in everything I do so your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely again
Marc

I will try to respond to you point by point. 

1. JSEclipse makes no sens if a .js file is not opened. There are no other features outside the editor. 

2. JSEclipse help is integrated in the Eclipse help. If you go in Help/Help Contents, JSEclipse user manual should be there.

3. You can learn about code completion in the manual.

Going further with the discussion, code completion from JSEclipse must be able to complete doc| startings with no problem. All this code completion libraries for DOM and JavaScript classes (String, Date, Array...) come bundled within JSEclipse. In addition to that JSEclipse is able to recognise several commonly used idioms for defining and extending classes in JavaScript and propose code completion form them.
