It would allow for a consistency across the documentation and would
avoid having to maintain two sets of documentation. One of my writers
had said that the PDF format had been upgraded to allow for CS links
from the application, so I'm trying to find out how that works
exactly.
If it's too complicated, we'll probably just go with WebHelp (via
WebWorks and Frame).
