Its also a pain to use and less than helpful to navigate. I personally think
that the windows help interface sucks and should not be the basis we should use to
design ours. I do like the suggestions already made and the way that nautilus
has it setup with their sliding tabs. As to html based interfaces, I feel its all
in how well its put together (ie designed, not just slapped in as an
afterthought.)

I do have ready access to a MacOS 8.6 (or 9) system and even a MacOS X system
if you want screenshots from that to. Email me at work and I'll send it back to
