I won't cheer it up (still slightly lacking sometimes), but the help system has improved by leaps and bounds since I first saw it (Public Beta). In Jaguar I find it perfectly usable most if not all of the time.

From what I remember from WWDC, it does have a new load of improvements for Panther, which fortunately don't break anything on the current help.

Hope that helps.

I think that this is because the Apple help interface is one of the poorest I have ever seen, mostly due to speed issues. I would say, use something else at all costs.

Noooooo!!!!! :-)

*Please* don't start using something else. Apple has invested effort to improve the help viewer so that it is faster, and will very likely continue to do so in future. We need a unified help viewer otherwise it becomes difficult for users to navigate Applications' help systems (just imagine if every app. had a completely different help system).

If you don't like Apple's help viewer, then file bugs against it to tell them so, preferably explaining what you think is wrong and how it could be better.

Kind regards,

Alastair.
