Dave,
On that I agree with you 100%. I bought the REV docs in print form for
just this reason. In fact the very first time I sat down with the
printed docs I learned a ton of stuff I don't think I would have even
found with the e-docs.
P.S. Don't forget to look under the "See Also" menu in the e-docs
'everytime'. It seems someone really thought them through and I always
find what I need doing that. HTIH (Hope that is helpful)
P.S. I hope I didn't sound rude - I was trying to point you in that
direction but not rudely - I hope.
