August, can you restate what it is you want please?

Sorry. Too much "stream of consciousness" I guess.

What do I want? Understanding. (I know that takes time, but time is precious and a half an hour wasted chasing dead links gets me grumpy.)

For starters:

A single Ruby reference that will define the terms in the script above: - module - def - self.* - UI::WebDialog.new() - *.set_url - *.add_action_callback() - *.show {}

(I've shared both grumps and glimmers of success in my search, above, for their possible use by anyone else on a similar quest.)

I want to know what in the script is setting the new menu item to be in the Plugin menu and how can I change that to be the Help menu instead?

I want to know what can I change to get a full Acrobat window with all it's toolbars instead of an Acrobat client inside an SU window with no toolbars (other than those that had been previously made floating instead of docked)? It looks as if I'm getting the same kind of client I would get in a browser window, but the browser would have the toolbars.

Also, this may be a bug, or it may be a result of coding by copying without understanding. When I run the script, when the UG pops up, the UG window appears to be ACTIVE yet BEHIND the SU window. If I click anywhere in the SU window, the UG pops to the front. Click anywhere INSIDE the client window of the UG, I get Acrobat functions. But if I click the FRAME of the UG window, suddenly it goes behind the SU window. If I click anywhere in the SU window, the UG window pops to the front again. This is not intuitive behavior. Did I do something wrong, or is this a graphics card glitch, or what?

A mixed bag, to be sure. Suggestions welcome.
