Although i am astonished Jerry that you ever need to call Microsoft for help... 
sorry private joke, i'll explain offline later.

Done.

Moral of my story: I use the offline help as a means of last resort prior to 
throwing in the towel and calling Microsoft.

Do I need it?  No.  Very occassionally, however, I find that it can actually be 
helpful.

Subject: [isalist] The future of On-Box Help

Hey guys,

What do you think of on-box help? Does it make the application too heavy? Is it 
something you ever use? Is it just wasting disk space because you never use and 
nobody uses it either? Would the world be better off without on-box help, or 
would it be the end of the world if it were gone?

I want to know!

Take the survey located at the following link and have a hand in whether on-box 
help stays "in the box" or migrates somewhere else. It's only two questions and 
your answers will determine whether there is a .chm file included with Windows 
products in the future.

Thanks!
Tom
