I've been making notes-- every time i open the IDE; every time i execute a function, create a project, find something new-- i try to jot down a little something about how this or that element might be presented in the documentation in a way that it will be both informative, useful, and hopefully, enjoyable to read. so, i've got some "stuff", but i do welcome your input. As an email like this might result in a lot of replies, please try not to be like me and write a short-story about it-- but a few lines, or even a screen cap-- whatever you think might give me a good idea of what you're talking about-- so we don't have to exchange correspondence (because i probably wont have time to reply, i apologize). It's okay if nothing comes to mind-- but if you've had something that's been bugging you, or something you "just KNOW this should be in the manual"... that kind of thing would be great. thank you!! Jeffrey PS. i'm far from the being the "master of Quanta+", or a master programmer, but i do have a decent skill for proofreading, and grammar, etc (when needed ;), so if i'm missing the public cry already, let me knw-- point me to a URL. Maybe someone has a Wiki already for this "wish-list" stuff? i'm very open for that type of communication as well. maybe it would be cool, depending upon the results i see from this email, maybe a "preferred topics" poll would be in order . again, i welcome input on that too. ;) ------=_Part_7525_19462347.1169857039339 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Hi,
