Hi All -

What should be included in a software manual?  

This may seem like a simple question, but a colleague of mine has a very
different opinion than mine on exactly what the contents of a software
manual should include, so I'm asking the experts.

How do you feel about screen captures in a software manual? Are they
essential or can you do without them?

Do you think online help can replace a software manual?

Thanks for your help!
Joyce
