I agree that documentation has to be available with the application i use. While i use the program and i need more infos i press F1. If the handbook it is not available what i will have ? A message informs me that the doc is missing or it has to be installed manualy? As when you get any product it comes with its manual, i believe that the handbook of an application is a must have, and an application should never be installed without its documentation.
