All,
Uggg.. , I'm not going to get it finished today, but there is so little left I
should be done by tomorrow, and again thanks for letting me get back to it
after such a long absence. I'll repeat this to Ben and pspp group, but the
examples use realistic data values, so you need not be concerned about that.
Regards,
Selma

In general, I agree. It doesn't do any harm to repeat information for
the sake of clarity. Although it can sometimes make maintaining the
documentation harder.

Hello All,
Hopefully I'll be done today. As a note, I wrote the manual for an
internet audiences who tend to skim (simple (3rd grade) sentences that are
spread out, and? paragraphs kept short), and each topic is self contained,
meaning they don't need to flip back to section x to understand the current
topic. This also means that some of the material is repeated, eg in examples, I
repeatedly show how to move the variable from the left to right via one or two
extra steps and an extra one or two screen-shot diagrams. I could be wrong, but
for ease of use I would recommend keeping it that way.
Regards,
Selma
