Quite contrary, they go through tutorial and learn whati is in tutorial. But it will take few hours, one day. Then it needs habit. Easier is to click and click n for next and p for previous. Once you find reference click F5 and describe the item. That is easier than teaching people Emacs. Then group of people can capture PDF references quite efficiently. Jean
