As you wrote earlier, as long as you keep your mouse over menu, it will be visible. But, as soon as you start typing code, It will be gone. As you know, there are many parameters/arguments available with a function, and one cannot memorise it all after looking it once. When you are in middle of writing a function, and you are stuck as you forget the parameter/arguments you are suppose to use.\r\n"}}
