True, miscdas, but the list exists in part to help people discover the documentation as well as the product, or the use-list would hardly need to exist at all. A pointer to using the documentation (as you have done here) as well as to the answer helps people get up and running faster.My point, apparently not readily seen, is that new users could probably benefit enormously from simply spending some time going through the tutorials and actually DOING them to gain a familiarity with basic features. Then, if difficulties arise with an application, make use of the mailing list or private contacts. I see on this list (as well as on other forums to which I belong) that many new users ask basic questions that are well documented either in the documentation that was supplied with the app (tutorials, example stacks, code snippets, etc.), or in the discussion archives. A very little personal effort to "discover" a solution not only benefits the person, but keeps the mailing list less "cluttered".

I don't see that it is at all difficult to "discover" the documentation. It is again a very basic exercise to navigate to the folder where the app was installed and "look around" at the supplied files, as well as to simply click "help", press F1, etc. while the app is running.
The list does and can exist without ever touching these basic areas, except in the instances where the documentation is poorly written (or even in error), or to reveal new-found properties or uses for some basic documented functions.
A little thought on the subject reveals this can be seen as matter of courtesy to others.
