No! No! I must have Java! :)

OTOH, the past few Web applications I've documented have been IE only, and
where I am now, there are ActiveX control being used. Which means I have to
document how to configure IE to make sure the ActiveX controls are not
blocked.

And the Help system is DHTML/HTML, no Java.

Y'know, I've seen this quote in the sig often, but I'm skeptical of its
claimed source. As I recall--and I'm not going to dig out my books and read
through them to check--this looks suspiciously like a line from a Robert A.
Heinlein book. If I had to guess, I'd say it, or something very much like
it, was one of Lazarus Long's aphorisms in the wonderful "Time Enough for
Love."
