this link is good for that:

you could also try out Dash… outlined here:

> Continuing the discussion from [RhinoScript Dash Docset](http://discourse.mcneel.com/t/rhinoscript-dash-docset/6382): I’m a fan of the [Dash API documentation](http://kapeli.com/dash) utility for OS X. I’ve generated a Rhino.Python docset based on the Rhino.Python documentation that works great in Dash. The advantage of using this docset is that it allows you to search Rhino.Python functions very quickly - also it works offline: If you already have Dash installed, you can have Dash subscribe to the docset feed by cutting and pasting this link: http://files.na.mcneel.c…
