I use DrRacket for years on windows and I neened hardly any documentation or help with the user interface. The menu scheme seems rather logical to me.

(little polish things like: the run icon being a person running instead of the "tape deck" play button everybody uses give it further feeling of being out of date; apparently i can't higlight a sub-section of code and "run" just that.) surely, as with most all uis, there are too many different kinds of people wanting to use it for it to be "obviously intuitive at first glance" to all of them. sounds like a lot of folks *are* in that good bucket audience after all, so i guess i have to envy them. sincerely. _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
