Re: Status: Working on Tidying Up Chapter Today and Tommorrow

In general, I agree.   It doesn't do any harm to repeat information for
the sake of clarity.  Although it can sometimes make maintaining the 
documentation harder.

     Hello All,
     
     
     Hopefully I'll be done today. As a note, I wrote the manual for an 
internet audiences who tend to skim (simple (3rd grade) sentences that are 
spread out, and? paragraphs kept short), and each topic is self contained, 
meaning they don't need to flip back to section x to understand the current 
topic. This also means that some of the material is repeated, eg in examples, I 
repeatedly show how to move the variable from the left to right via one or two 
extra steps and an extra one or two screen-shot diagrams. I could be wrong, but 
for ease of use I would recommend keeping it that way.
     
     Regards,
