Ok, Jamal, I'm embarrassed now. I've just been invoking WinDig from
the desktop & didn't even pay attention to the start menu icons cuz
usually the program contains a help menu item from which the docs can
be read. So I kind of assumed there weren't any. Sorry. Duh! I
feel really stupid now. I don't know if it's age or grief or what.
