Yeah, you start the application up, click on all the buttons to see what they do, crash it a couple of times and then discover the help files. ;-] The way you do it is far superior. A combination of the two approaches - Intuitive + logical + asking the developers when it doesn't make sense is probably the surest way to come up with documentation. I don't read code at all, but if we worked together, hypothetically, we'd be able to cover most angles. That's what I like about WIKI, someone like me can set up an intuitive-oriented framework and get the experts to fill in the details and make corrections. Well that's the theory. cheers tim hall
