It bounced off your screen maybe.

Is the external reference palette what you want to see? (as seen in my screenshot)

Where exactly are you trying to click to show this? Can you post a screenshot? What happens if you type the command EXTERNALREFERENCES ?

I type in externalreference and nothing happens. it's the external reference pallet that I'm trying to restore so I can see my reference files to bind them

NOT externalreference I said _externalreferences, you need the _ and the s at the end
