 That's a good point. MS have actually gone out of their
way to remove specialized help and SDKs. You have to
download the whole Win32 SDK to get help files. Even then
they're only available as HXS. I ended up writing my own
HXS -> CHM converter so that I can get newer help if I
want it, and so that I can get sepcific help files separate.

  On the other hand, when someone starts out with "yo" and
can't be bothered with punctuation or capitalization, there's
a good chance that they only know how to ask their mother
when they need something, simply because they haven't
learned how to relate to the outside world.

  Should we indulge such a person? Rudy's approach is "spare
the rod and spoil the stoic". I feel more generous because that's
what this group is for. Most questions can eventually be answered
with search, but the bigger challenge is often knowing enough
to know what to seach for.
