I don’t know that much about DevonAgent 3.0. It is very nice but complex and I am trying to catch on. The one thing I noticed was that you are supposed to be able to search without opening it first. But I have found that the menu item isn’t there unless you open DevonAgent up.

I must be doing something wrong. Any advice or suggestions? I am such a newbie that I am not sure this is an issue. Thanks.
