I've just opened the Windows Help and Support Center (XP), did a search for "please", and found 15 articles (full-text search results); each article contains at least one instance. Looking at the first few, none of them make me feel as though Microsoft were asking me for a favour. You could repeat this experiment with other help systems available to you. -- Milan Davidovic http://altmilan.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.
