Hi,
You can get .Net docs in text format from http://www.nonvisualdevelopment.org. 
I'm not sure if they are current as of VS2008 or not.

OK, the "Help on Help" explains the keyboard shortcuts and how to customise 
them (Tools > Options > Keyboard).

Now, with the shortcuts working properly -- conflicts resolved -- things go a 
bit smoother, but it will still be nice to have a simple CHM old style 
reference.

Other bright ideas of how to make things roll smoother are most welcome.

Hi List,

Don't know about you guys, but I don't find the Microsoft .Net Framework 
documentation browser, or the Microsoft Document Explorer that ships with 
Visual Studio 2008 very accessible via JAWS. Yes, one can get at the 
information, but it's not a smooth and simple  process like with the older 
style CHM files that works great with JAWS.

Does anyone know if all of that documentation, or at least just the .Net Class 
Library reference is available in the old style CHM format? I've searched a bit 
but could not get a conclusive, authoritive download as of yet.

Maybe I'm missing something, but the current means by which I manage to 
navigate it is not eficient at all. Much tabbing, moving around with the JAWS 
cursor and so on...


If anyone is using the default help system any tips would be most welcome!

Regards
