Ray, let's start with a general answer to your questions. The new version of
DBT has a very fine Help system. When you have any document open in DBT, press
Alt+H. Select the entry Help topics. This page has four or five tabs on it.
When you enter this help, you are positioned on the table of contents. This is
a standard Windows contents page. If you want to search for specific entries,
you have the choice of the Index or Search tabs in this window.
Give this a look. This Help system is superb!
