Rant Re Rev Documentation

[Stgoldberg at aol.com]

Hi Sarah,
I appreciate your comment about different learning styles.   In my own case, 
I prefer to read a manual cover to cover to gain a more complete 
understanding.   While I have started to use Revolution quite a lot, and am more impressed 
with it every day, I don't think I would be using it had I not already had 
some experience with Hypercard.   For some people, myself included, it is just 
not sufficient trying to learn initially from scattered comments in a forum or 
in tutorial stacks, as excellent as they might be; there needs to be a much 
more linear pathway for the initial learning experience. For HyperCard, reading 
Danny Goodman's book was the way for me. One of the frustrations I have with 
Revolution, for instance, is that I have still not seen an adequate overview of 
the features of the Property Inspector.   This is such a basic part of 
Revolution that one would think this would be a primary focus of attention in the 
documentation.
