Initially I was going to provide a link, but I was not at all sure what
release to link to. And while I should have said google IBM Information
Center VxRx (supply the correct version/release) rather than "go to", I do
believe providing generic step by step directions also provides some
educational value for the next time someone wants to look something up.
There's a wealth of knowledge in the various Information Centers.

And yes I did work for IBM, but left around 10 years ago. In fact I'm
pretty sure we have met a few times in the distant past.

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!
