F1 HELP KEY works fine here. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Salt Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 11:08 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: HP annual report

Tom, My experience is similar to yours. If something is put directly in front of someone (e.g. in the form of a message or pop-up window etc), at least some people will read it. If it's put in a tutorial or long help message (i.e. something that requires someone to press the F1 help key), the chances of it being read are somewhere between slim and none. This is why I think all vendors should at least try to put features in plain view, and not hide them in manuals or tutorials or drop-down menus (etc).
