Bernard,
Thanks for the status update. I started reading the User Guide when I
first signed up for Rev with 2.7. I quickly abandoned the effort
because of the deficiencies you mentioned. Most of the things I was
interested in just weren't included. In the few forays I've made into
the 3.0 documentation, I had noticed an apparent improvement, but not
the realization that things are MUCH better. Now that I know they are,
less time will be spent on my idle efforts to engage myself, and much
more "learning" the more unique potentialities of Rev.
Glad to hear you got your MacBook back in operation again. All the best,
Joe Wilkins

Unlike Richard, I foolishly entered an enhancement request a month

had to close that request once I found that that feature had been
there for
years, but I hadn't known about it. I too found it by reading the
User
Guide.
I chose to re-read the User Guide because it hadn't been updated since
version 2.7 (and had had several missing chapters in all that
time). The
current User Guide is something to be proud of - although to be
fair, I
think the user documentation that came with versions 1.1.1 onwards
was also
pretty good (written by Jeanne Devoto, I believe). The combination
of the
current Dictionary and the current User Guide are for me the highest
point
in Rev documentation. I still have some ideas for how there could
be an
improvement in the docs though (although I think it would be
controversial).
Anyway, I don't feel quite so foolish about that enhancement
request, since
I was in good company in not knowing about the feature.
Bernard
