This is a bit like the argument about whether code should be commented
or properly-written. I normally argue for copious comments in source,
but at the same time I think I favour properly-designed forms and
components which don't need on-screen help.
Having a decent manual, possibly with weak linkage to the app so that it
opens on the right page (something that PDF is bad at) is a different issue.
