Without having checked the publishing costs at VUE/PROMETRIC: 1. If such additional information would be offered then only in electronic form for test centres and booklet for paper based tests. 2. I do not think that it would have any influence on the publishing costs. But here some additional questions: 3. What Level are we talking about? Only 3? 4. What content would you take for that screens? Man pages, --help, info, README, HOW-To? 5. When exams are translated then what versions would you use for that screens? But as I wrote before: the parameters and options aren't really an issue.
