In response to your survey… I use the manuals a lot. (9+ or so). I would like to see them better indexed, for example I tried to find "Archive" the other day, and there have been a few others recently that I had to eventually thumb through likely sections looking for. If you could make sure that every button in every screen with a unique word could have its' own entry in the index, I'd luv ya for it… When I heard that Rel. 3 was going to have online help, I was really interested. However, I find that I never use it. 3DS pushes my 486-33 to the max usually, so I wouldn't like to load it up with more stuff than necessary. I prefer to use "near on-line" storage, i.e. the bookshelf beside my monitor, as I often pore through the manual while twiddling stuff on screen. I don't think the on-screen stuff could have as much useful info as necessary without taking up all the real estate. I do like the idea of an on-line index or search engine that others have mentioned, since it would save mulling through index entries (let me see, was that under keyframer/lights/move or…?) Thanks for asking, hope this helps..
