It seems like you are in a minority of one here, Herbert. Here's my take on it: 1. I don't think that Jürgen has lost any information that is currently in the Help file with his implementation. Perhaps you should try it out before jumping to conclusions? 2. If we retain the Help files, then they should be done properly. Currently they contain information that is best displayed as Jürgen has done it. It may be that they could ultimately be contracted to "tooltips" and the user would still understand their meaning. 3. If something isn't obvious, then it may well be because the GUI is wrong. Let's fix the root cause before providing verbose and clunky descriptions of the obvious. Regards, Angus
