Gary: I like the current documentation a lot, so I would give question 1 a 9 out of to. I wouldn't mind seeing more on-line documentation, but ***NOT*** at the expense of the printed docs. I think that you need to keep the level of detail in the printed manuals about where it is at right now. There are times when I have to go away from the computer and really read the manuals to get the idea, and I don't see that changing. I don't think that ANY of the current docs would be **better** online but I would like to see an expansion from the current "what does this command do?" (which I do like a lot) to a more detailed form that includes what, how, and why. I don't think that you can move the tutorials at all from the paper manuals without providing some kind of general purpose scripting that let you mix the tutorials with 3DS. The long paragraphs that explain the background of things is probably also not suitable for online help. What would be nice is for every piece of online help to provide a page number reference back to the manual for more information. Chris
