RE: Infocenter /rant off

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"?

Over the last year or so I have made unflattering comments about Infocenter.
 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.
