FWIW, that was my point as well. Thomas, if you're not understanding that instructions need to be different depending on whether you're talking about components/libraries or systems/applications, then we're not going to reach an agreement. IMO, the "Quickstart" you quoted that triggered this is pretty much OK as long as it's talking about developing applications. It's not clear without context whether that's the case, but unless *you* understand the distinction Jim and I are trying to make, then I doubt we'd agree with any suggested rewording of that section that you might propose.
