Sorry about the subject change... I managed to turn it into the generic techwhirl subject. Apologies...
Anyway, for the following:
-------------------
Most of the users of products I have documented in the past
10 years or so are already past that point. The question they
most want answered is where to *find* the control they want.
-------------------
If that's true, why not just provide an index of controls? Or to be less flip, is it time for to ship reference guides again?
