TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I have to ask, what is the laborious obvious in tackling the issue. I find
the best way to get to know a software application is to find either a
contract or full-time position where it's being used and apply.
But, that's my .02.

Another issue that us rookie tech-writers have faced
is gaining access to these "exotic" tools which are
used to sift candidates out during the application
process. Framemaker was the thorn in my side that
managed to constantly elude me, whether in research
efforts, or actually landing an assignment where it
was widely used (enough to actually pick it up). I
have since rectified this situation, but now find
myself trying to form a relationship with ROBOHELP. It
is not in place at my current assignment and I was
wondering what would be the best 1st step, beyond the
laborious obvious, in tackling this issue.
Thanks!
Michael
