And to top it all all off, manuals are written for those people who
already KNOW about the subject; manuals are NOT written to provide the
novice with the necessary information to resolve his/her query. Known
fact in the environment where non-programmers have to deal with
programmers - as I did. Look at the "man pages", generally. How many
actually give you an example, a clear-cut, simple example(s), which
shows "if you want to do this then type this on the command line"? :-)

Well said Basil this has been stated many times before but still you
get the read the man page or even worse the RTFM boys offering what
amounts to a big fat ZERO when it comes to constructive assistance , This
seems to be an side effect of Opensuse these days.

Not just confined to oS, Pete. Been so for decades :-( and for various
software. If you find some decent documentation written for a piece of
software I will bet you pounds to peanuts that the documentation was
written not by the programmer(s) but by a team of specialists employed
to just write documentation.

Besides, I have a tagline (which I cannot find at the moment) which goes
something like this, "I olwais wonted too bee a progremer and naw i is
won!".

(Perhaps we should be grateful for small mercies :-) .)

Well you never know one of these days Eh is it too much to ask for Useable
documentation for the newer and less tech users seems it is and always has
been
