Amen, Ann P.! I'm not sure if it necessarily has to be Humanware that produces the tutorials but it would be great if someone would. If I had the knowledge, I would be willing to do this but I obviously don't since I am one that most definitely needs a tutorial as opposed to the manual that I seem to not be getting something. Even if these tutorials came with a price, it would be great to have them in addition to the manual.
