1) 9 2) If I need help, it's usually quicker to reach across the desk, look it up in the index, and read about it. I'd like to see brief on-line help describing common gotcha's and referring back to a page number in the book. Installation of help should be optional, in case we don't want it or are trying to conserve space. Also, wouldn't on-line help assist pirates in understanding the program without any books? 3) Not necessarily better, but it might be helpful to provide help on hierarchy, dummies, linking as well as track info and key info. In the lofter, deform commands could use some help. 4) Detailed techniques need not be on-line. Help should probably describe a basic technique with "see page xx" and have "common problems" and "see also page xx". >> There are 34 Replies. Perhaps one more opinion won't hurt. <g>
