So, as some might have noticed, I do have some luck,
and have found my Particle System, only a few
months outdated, on a CD-RW. The last few days I've
spent correcting mistakes, deleting unnecessary
features, and renaming variables to allow a more intuitive
approach. Rendering the old animations for tests,
tweaking the macros, checking the in-code comments...

Anyways, it's closing in on completion, and I've begun
writing the Help-File (my typical HTML Style Help :-).

Problem is, I don't plan on doing a detailed outline of
all 137 variables. Instead, I'll be doing a categorized
Help.

For example, all variables concerned with the speed
of particles will be explained in "A Particle's Speed"
or such. And at the end of the Help, I'll create a table
with all variables sorted by their category, each with a
one-, maximum two-sentence rough explanation, and
with links to their category.

Is there a better idea how to do it? I'd like my particle
system to be understood...

Oh, and I've already prepared an Insert Menu for that,
since it would be rather geeky to memorize all 137
variables. :-)

Comments and suggestions, as always, are welcome!

Regards,
Tim
