OK I took the dare: "For example, both the API finder and the System Value finder are just excellent, but try finding out information about a "prompt override program" for a *CMD object, I dare you." Using a PC with the InfoCenter updated as of last Wednesday, I found the point in the PARM of a command definition -- and a reference to the CL Programming PDF book in the supplemental manuals. Repeated same search in PDF book and found how to write a prompt override program. Booth's comments are on target. It did take a while to get the info center "there". Maybe I can say hasta la bye-bye to the bookmanager books.... And second Booths "thanks" to the folks working diligently on this. Didn't Fred Brooks ("The Mythical Man Month) comment that "documentation the caster oil of programming"?

In my opinion they were accurate and deserved. However... lately they're getting it right. :) Using Infocenter is becoming a true pleasure. It has become a well designed and intuitive site. This is very encouraging. In any event, my thanks to the people at Infocenter. Job well done. --------------------------------------------------------- Booth Martin http://www.MartinVT.com Booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------- message: 5 date: Sun, 19 Oct 2003 12:59:16 -0400 from: Al Barsa <barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> subject: Re: Infocenter /rant off //TRIM ON// .....
