Did you work for IBM? This is a pet peeve of mine about IBM. They use this statements all the time 'go to ....' as if I know where that is. And then when i spend an hour or more digging I finally give up in frustration as I can't find it. If they took the time to write the documentation perhaps the extra 3 to 5 seconds it takes to include a link TO that point would have been fricken awesome!

Same thing applies to replies in forum threads. Clearly you know where that is or you wouldn't have written an answer her but rather than including a link there are generic instructions.

Personally I looked earlier today for the V5R2 infocenter and I'll be danged if I can find it!
