I tend to use the index, but would like a way to skip quickly through the document, to the next paragraph or section. The context sensitive help has always worked for me, though.

I find the help system excellent!
I primarily use the context sensitive help with chord-h. That gets me what I need about ninety-nine percent of the time. Otherwise, opening the appropriate section of the manual in KeyWord and using the find command takes care of the rest.

I rarely need to use the index, but have found it useful a time or two.

The reality is, the more powerful the device, the more details one will have to wade through.

A very happy PK user,
Richard

Well, Sarah, that's why there are people called Technical Writers who do this for a profession, and get big bucks for doing it. Your term eventually is the clue that this help system is not as easy to use as it might be. A good help system gets the information you need promptly without meandering through extraneous topics, details, and related comments. Perhaps you haven't yet had experience with a really rigorously written help system as they are few and far between.
