documentation organizational problems

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Jacque and everyone,

Lists of commands, properties, functions, etc. related to objects are  
very useful for advanced users.
The same lists but related to actions, work with text strings,  
images, internet, windows, etc. would be more efficient for beginners.
When you begin, you don't know the language: you only know the action  
you want to perform...
Is what I want possible? Which words can I use for a result, not for  
an object :-)
Rev docs are made by programmers for programmers.
As for me, I don't complain...
As for newbies: move away or expect you will have to make a very  
significant effort to answer the mystery!
Don't you regret this?

Best regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.
