The total size of __all__ images now included in this CHM manual
is 20k 20 kilobytes. Yes. Is it that much in size? OK, the design is
not too good... Some contributors are on the way to make it clear and
more useable...

You are right. This is not correct...

Including user notes in the manual is a greatly requested feature. But
as you can see on the download page, we plan to make it two (tha manual
and the notes). So you don't need to download the notes if you don't want
to.

Good suggestion :) I'll see what I can do about it... We need a table
whose width is just as much as the window width and a table bellow that,
whose
size corresponds to the notes size...
