Aha! So I finally know who to send that mail bomb too. (Help files really do
have an amazing capacity for answering the one and only question I didn't
need to ask.) But presumably that's more the fault of the people who tell
the tech writers what to write, than the tech writers themselves ... I just
hope your technical writing is better than my technical translating on the
two or so jobs I picked up a few years back. I still wonder what strange
substances may be bubbling in the cauldrons of a certain Swiss
pharmaceutical concern ... )

Baaaaaa!
