Re: New to this.

I had a lot of problem trying to view the tutorials and work them at the
same time also.   Someone suggested going to Preferences/Help and check
the 'Always use External browsers'.  It definitely makes a difference.

When using the tutorials that come with WDSC, I suggest you print them -
otherwise it can be an adventure to move between the tutorial
instructions and WDSC itself.
