Personally I prefer that if they can read it in a manual or on the internet, I should help them, if asked, with how that works in my environment.
Sometimes users have artificial constraints, Security, Resources, etc... that might make using a "feature" a challenge. If I can provide mentoring or guidance and they can do their job better on the mainframe, then the mainframe will be a valuable platform to use. Since I really want the mainframe to be valuable (or more valuable than those little things) - I do my best to educate as often as possible.
