I would have to wholeheartedly agree with Phoenix's #12 post above. I think the manual, on the whole, is well written ... it's just on the light side.
I have been concentrating (as you know Tony) on the FACE ROOM. The entire chapter is only ten pages, and there are a decent number of pictures and white space. I've mentioned some of the items that need more detailed information in another post, and there are more.
The thing is, Tony is only one guy, and P5 is introducing a LOT of new stuff. On top of that, there was enoromous time pressure, although self inflicted ... I think most of us would wait for a delayed release. I think for WHAT is there, he did a great job. But again, technical-writing merits aside, its on the thin side for such a feature-rich program.
But hey, it wouldn't be the first manual to be this way ... thus, the huge software secondary-manual book market.
