You are welcome to your opinion, but in this case the die is well and truly cast. A printed document can't provide even a fraction of the flexibility of a hyper doc – just as a for instance, the fluid links between a word and a glossary definition isn't there, and you're reduced to looking it up manually, whihc takes many times longer. That's just the tip of he iceberg. Although ApAssist hasa some very nice printing facilities, I expect that few people will use that capability, even though you think you want it now. My personal feeling is that people are resisting Hyper docs because they either do not understand what it is they are going to be exposed to because they not seen hypertext at work, or because they've seen poor hypertext – either badly produced or generated on a crippled system like "AmigaGuide". We will see what you think after you've seen it – in the meantime, you are welcome to be nervous – I think it'll make the real thing all the more sweet for you. –Ben …via AutoPilot
