Enthought Canopy Editor. Reading documentation with TAB complete

Using the Enthought Canopy python editor, when I press TAB I can get help to appear.

for example, if I type

In [110]: absolute(< TAB >

This brings up a pop-up window showing the docstring for this function. At the bottom of the window it says "[Documentation Continues...]"

How do I move to the next page of the documentation?

I've tried everything I can think of and I cant find anything in the canopy help pages nor anything from simple google searches..

Any help is much appreciated

You can't; this is a limited length tooltip / flyover. To see the entire docstring, use the standard ipython method:

absolute?

Then press Enter.

You can scroll this, then press Q or Escape when you are done.
