access to documentation

You are now entering the rant zone.  Protective clothing required.

I think having the manuals on cd and on line is a good idea.  The
implementation falls a bit short of minimal usability. Consider the choices:

        * Book Manager--A vile piece of software that locks up my PC at
least three times a day when I use it.            Can't print with correct
formatting.
        
        * Info Seeker--Very slow and, strangely enough, graphics challenged.
Can't print with correct formatting.
        
        * Info Seeker under Graphical Access--No cut and paste and performs
as well as it does on green screen.

        * PDF files--Only option for printed manuals although a duplex
capable printer is a good thing to have.          Search capability limited
to simple text scan.

I like the manuals; I use them every day.  I would like to avoid the stress
associated with using them.  My co-workers would be very grateful if I had
fewer tantrums.  I am approaching a mental state where no court in this
country (USA) could hold me responsible for my actions.
