If a picture is worth a thousand words then a movie with sound is worth a million words.

A Help system is supposed to help by answering the question HOW. How do I..... [fill in whatever is missing here]

Some packages (unlike Xara) just don't get it. I've seen thousands of them. They tell you "what" this and that is but do little about "how" to use it. So you end up with a massive, cluttered Help System that is 5% "how" and the other 95% useless "what" information. Now your stuck with looking for the remaining useful 5% in a vast wasteland of "what" this and that does. I'm thinking needle in hay stack here, are you to? These type of "help?" systems are TOTALLY USELESS!!

Keep up the good work Xara with your Context Sensitive MULTIMEDIA Help by maximizing the WinHelp system. It just does not get any better than this at any cost! For those of you who have not yet experiences this, your in for a big surprise. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
