Re: Doc Design and Conventions

The software was installed on a control console/kiosk, and the card was mounted 
above the monitor.  The goal was for the user to not have to "open" anything, 
hard or soft copy, to operate the system.

I'd find that more useful as a PDF, so I could search for the command I want.

I regularly encounter documentation that does a pretty good job of
telling me what I could figure out for myself, if I COULD FIND WHERE
IN THE MENU SYSTEM THEY BURIED THE DAMN COMMAND.
