There        AA>>>> is really no clue *where* to find certain features when I want. :(               MF>>> Yes, I have to agree and even a certain seasoned user has difficulty        MF>>> finding stuff now and again.               AA>> Maybe a separate "app" that can emulate the OXP menu but include all the        AA>> F1 helps along the way - and have a Search - would be nice.               MF>Are you volunteering ;-))                     I could start with [1] simple screen shots, and then just index the        collection, to create a table of contents. Then, a CTRL-F for search        through *that* document would be a beginning.              OR.. [2] build a Table of Contents using Wordpress like I do here:              http://tales.wellandhistory.ca              Wordpress does all the work for the listing.              For the contents, there would be a "post" for each item in the menus with        Tiles like this (eg):               Message/Search..        Message/Search/Text        Message/Search/Subject        Message/Search/User @U        Message/Search/Special        Message/Search/Marked(for reply)        Message/Search/Marked        Message/Search/Unmark        Message/Search/MessageID              etc..               Message/Export..        Message/Unsent..        Message/All..        Message/Change..        Message/Action..              Then when someone does a S)earch on the website, the full path to the        "command" will appear in the Title and then the body of the post would        contain the textual help.                      ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.38        * Origin: o,,,,o§ø`ø§o,,,,o§ø`ø§o,,,,o (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/17 229/354 426 1014 240/5832       SEEN-BY: 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/789 854 8125 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 335/364 342/200 393/68       PATH: 221/1 292/854 229/426           |
