Every one knows the the help files are the hardest thing to write. And 
windows 3.7's shows it! It drive me crazy! So, What can I do to work on 
it? Who do I see? What do I need? How can we make it Better?

Have Fun!

Maybe you could start by saying what you think is wrong ;-)

Have a look at

the documentation is pulled from there.

And of course the newsgroup

   povray.documentation.inbuilt

Just a small example you click on the word 'function' in INDEX and you 
get 6 things in the little pop up widow. Common Color Pitfalls,Cylinder, 
and a lot other useless stuff(Ovus). So let try 'Functions', here we 
have 8 entries and our old favorite Common Color Pitfalls is there also 
2 function entries.

Ehm, I suspected you had this problem: It is a simple bug in the index generator
that was already discussed in p.beta-test and that just had to be fixed. You
won't see it until the next beta is out though :-)

Thanks, I didn't know about povray.documentation.inbuilt. The first 
entry I read answered all my question. The ways are set up I guess all I 
can do when I find a problem document it and go there and tell 'em.

Have Fun!
