Hi,
I would agree with more help for new users of Duxbury. The manuals need to
have more step by step guides when using all the codes and shortcuts. I
appreciate the tech support over the phone, but a better manual would be
very beneficial.

Hi Karen,
I'm hoping that once we shake the remaining gremlins out of 10.5, and get shipping, we'll be able to look at things like a Dummies Guide perhaps, and even on-line classes. There certainly appears to be a demand.
George.
