Re: Link text in HTML help systems

[Char James-Tanny <CharJT -at- helpstuff -dot- com>]

Hi, John :-)

Oh, definitely the second! If nothing else, I would use it for accessibility
reasons..."Click here" for...what? The second option tells folks what they are
going to get when they click...information about goal dates.

Of course, one of my pet peeves is "Click here" links ;-)
