Bonnie! Bonnie! What *great* posts you are writing about minimalists docs
and on-line help! I couldn't have said it better myself!
(Sorry for all the exclamation marks, but I'm catching up with *some* of the
mail today and I was reading down through your posts on the subjects and
saying: Yes! Yes!)
Anyhoo, could you pretty please send me a copy of the paper. Do you want to
do it snail mail or email? What format is it in if by email? Do you need a
SASE if it's snail mail?
Thanks in advance,
Rosie A. Wilcox
