RE: future functionality

["Giordano, Connie" <Connie -dot- Giordano -at- FMR -dot- COM>]

I write a statement into the help system-- "<function> not available in the
current release."  Never had anyone question it, doesn't promise when it
will be available, provides a partial explanation as to why they see
something they can't do anything with.

Here's a question: what should you do about future
functionality when it already appears in the GUI?
(Dummy screens/buttons, etc). Should you
(a) mention that those screens will do something
at some stage, or (b) just ignore them? (My own
opinion was (a), but a lot seem to plump for
(b).
