Built in to Desktop and also in a format that could be accessed in 
windows and etc.

In my opinion an official tutorial endorsed by orca's team.
When I decided to assess the jaws in 1998, I had no experience with 
screen readers and not with the Windows environment, and also did not 
have much time nor hardware to test.
What helped me was a tutorial submitted by the developers of the jaws. 
The tutorial contains explanations of the basic features of windows and 
how they could be accessed from the jaws.
When I decided to migrate to the orca, I missed something similar.
Certainly there are good tutorials on the internet, but are not 
official. What I mean is that the tutorial should be part of the orca 
package.
