Do you mean an empty HTML window with a 'Table of Contents' hyperlink  
that goes nowhere? - I get this if I put in fprintfff which I know  
doesn't exist.  fprintf on the other hand gives the expected result  
for me.

Do have a method called man_page (query) in your version of  
docdet_query.rb?

This is expecting the entire document as input whereas the original  
version is expecting the selected text or scope as input (I think).   
Maybe this is causing the problem?
