Mark:
You bet! Took an intro. to Robo (version 4.0, if I remember right--2 day
class). Good class. Run through the tutorials in the Robo manual first.
Good prerequisite knowledge to gain before you take the class...let's
you ask your more well thought out questions when you get there. I'm not
sure, but I'd guess that David may be covering Webhelp/HTML Help now too
in his classes. Check with him.
In short: Good guy. Good instructor. Well prepared. Ask for more Danish
and quality coffee down the street. (Geez, maybe I can even get a
discount on a good "What the heck am I gonna do with this
Winhelp/Webhelp stuff?" class :) .
