  I would really appreciate it if you would. There are many times I
look up a proceedure in the docs when replying to someones question
and then proceed to tell the person in need of help to read such and
such section if my explaination is not clear enough. It is nearly
impossible to direct them to the exact location because there is no
way to know where it is since the change to the new help files.

Thank you for taking an interest in this issue Alan.


  One thing I have wondered and never went so far as trying for
myself is if the Win Word version of the docs is displayed internaly
or does the system have to spawn an outside application each time
you want to use the online documentation. If you had to go with an
external progam each time that sure would be a lot of wasted time
waiting for a file the size of the Pov docs to load and become usable.
The current system becomes available in about 8 sec internaly which
is a bearable amount of time to wait.
