That is similar to the problem I have with the J tutorials. I have to go through the whole thing to find what I'm looking for. And it is difficult to go back to re-read parts, not really easy in a ijx window. In JHS I can have multiple ijx windows so I can experiment without losing the text of the lab, but strange things happen with multiple ijx windows.
