toolstips are one thing, every application has it more or
less. They are okay, but you are _very_ limited in the
length! The help-button gives you a help whuch is more than
a tip, it explains some important interaction which the toolstips
can't. The next step are the tutorials! Three different and
important kind of help.
I'm very astonished, that the devolopers say what kind
of help is the best. This is _absolutely_ user-dependent and
it will be the best way to let them decide which is more
or less helpful!
With all respect to the doc-team, but there were more than
one user mail which had not the best comments to the
helpfiles for 1.1.6.
