Alexander, documentation may have grown.

But different strokes for different folks. I continue to find the documentation daunting, and slight (as in cases where you hit a link and the result is basically a two or three line response which comes up letting you know you reached where you were headed but offering virtual no explanation.

Some excellent programs, such as Paul’s, or Zoot, probably have thousands less paid users than they could otherwise get if they put some attention on help files.

When I wrote similarly a few years ago about ConnectedText, one of OutlinerSoftware’s more erudite members, a man whom I respect and whose blog I continue to read, left in a huff. I hope this doesn’t again now.

Am just saying that what may be intuitive to developers and some of their followers is not clear to the rest of us.
