You are overlooking
that prior to Reuters the index was 100% correct (well 99.9999999% correct).
>From versions 3 to 6 I only came across one small error in the
Index

Another problem, the
Index is not as well cross referenced as it was in the past.
The manual is still
a good document, it used to be a superb document.

good basic charting program and that aspect has improved over the years.
However, with version 8.0 NONE of the entries that I've looked up in the hard
copy index are anywhere close to the pages they refer to and several items
aren't in there (or in the Help system) at all. (Via email, Equis has
admitted to this error and has said that a reprint of the manual is in process
and will be distributed when done. Ha! I trust them as much as I do
Saddam.) As far as searching through the manual for an individual topic,
it is next to impossible. As far as the on-line help (within MS), it is
the most anemic help information system I have on any program I own (other than
freeware). Many topics have subjects, then give you absolutely no specific
information on how to perform the task at hand.I was on this list (or a
similar one) 4 or 5 years ago and it was monitored by an MS technician.
The tech would respond to many of the questions which didn't receive adequate
answers by the user group, and would also respond to MS deficiencies.
Since the Reuters take over, this no longer happens.I've been with MS
since version 1 and since Reuters entered the picture have found that they are
not interested in MS customers, only in selling add-ons and
data.Jay To
