=85I posted the question on nbusers and nobody seems to know, so I'll =
ask it here:

In NB 7.2beta, under Preferences/Options->Editor->Hints, the online help =
speaks of what appears to be a nonexistent option to display hints in =
the "Problems" window:

You can set the following options:
	=95 Language. Select which language's hints you want to =
customize. The hints for the selected language appear in the tree view =
of hints.
	=95 Tree view. Beneath the Language field is a tree view of the =
hints for that language. Tick a hint or group of hints for that hint or =
group of hints to display. When you select a hint, the Show As field for =
that hint is enabled, and a description of the hint appears in the =
Description field.
	=95 Search. Enabled only for Java hints. Type part of the hint =
name in the field, and the IDE filters the tree view of hints to include =
only relevant hints.
	=95 Show As. For the selected hint, select whether to display =
the hint as an error, a warning, a warning on the current line, or as =
info.
	=95 Show in problem window. Java only. Show the hint in the =
Output window as a problem.
	=95 Description. Description of the selected hint. This field =
cannot be edited.
	=95 Export/Import. Export hint settings as a zip archive, or =
import hint settings from a zip archive.

Can you clarify what was meant here?  Is the help/documentation ahead of =
actual implementation?  I would love to have this feature (I think I may =
have even written an enhancement request for it at some point).  Any =
information is much appreciated.

Best regards,
Thomas Wolf
