Hell, given the size of the product, I think it's a dumb idea to require
building the indexes in the first place.  They should be installed
intact in the primary product folders as part of the installation (and
then shared among the workspaces).  But I'm not at the point of
mentioning that stuff as defects.  I'm still trying to get a situation
resolved where I installed and uninstalled WDSC and then installed WDSC
AE and the system can now not update itself.  IBM's response has been to
uninstall and reinstall WDSC AE, but that's not acceptable.

I did get one rather creative alternative, though.  "Install a new
version in a different location, copy your workspaces over, and then
uninstall the old version."  Ah, I get it!  Since uninstall and
reinstall is unacceptable, instead try reinstall and uninstall!

<grumpf>

So, anyway, as far as I'm concerned there are much bigger issues to
address right now than problems with the help mechanism.
Joe
