So, i will take a closer look at your 'manual'... ;-) Yes, always do that. The documentation is there for a purpose; to ignore it is the height of stupidity. Even those of us with decades of experience make hefty use of the manual. The advantage of the electronic ones is that they don't wear out like the paper ones, and you don't, as with the DEC manuals, have to worry about the bookcase falling over on you in the event of an earthquake.
RTFM! RTFM! There ought to be a cheering ditty supporting the RTFM
Maybe it does look sometimes as if i do, or did not read... But know that 'nothing is as it looks', or 'appearances may be deceiving' My problem is often to prevent from being buried under a pile, or truckload of 'manuals', not exactly reflecting what i was looking for....(figuratively spoken 'earthquake', you mentioned earlier..) But, so often seems, the 'manual' of every person, is different. Which means, that handling interactive 'manuals', (donot be provoked or offended) people, brings beside of the needed info, a lot of 'unwanted spam', but is often very much nicer.. ;-) So, i might heed the message: RTM, and will remember it better, to prevent to trigger 'unwanted spam' (please see the humor) Example of unwanted spam: Did you know that the letters of my first names are: RTM? -- Have a nice day, Oddball.
