You make very valid points, Shadow. And with all due respect to Anthony, the manual is definitely incomplete. As I posted in my little rant on P5: "But the manual seems to equate to one of these deals: "Widget Temporal Analysis Toggle: Toggles the Widget's Temporal Analysis".

I believe Anthony was under a tremendous load and time constraint, and it's not his fault really. The fault lies in not hiring AT LEAST one other person to help write a manual for such a complex piece of software. That other person could have written the excellent "tutorial idea" as noted by Cyberstretch. I guess it really is only a reference, not a manual ... but that's not really an excuse. (Not that anyone was saying it was.)

Unfortunately, this is fairly common in the software industry ... thus, the plethora of "add-on" manuals available at Amazon.com. However, I'd have to say CL was really pushing it ... even under those standards, IMHO.
