You again. If the user has not even an idea, that there is some special functionality, he has no reason to even look for documentation. Besides, we were talking about widgets. When even single widgets would require to RTFM, what would that mean for a full app? Users should be allowed to concentrate on the problem space of the task at hand as much as possible. Advanced options / complex functionality that one needs to read documentation for is ok, but let's keep simple things simple. Happy now? --- Thorsten Wilms
