I didn't think it was so important at the time I rewrote the Windows sections of the manual. I might add it now, but it's still unclear to me how it would have helped you if it were there. Did you search the manual and the doc strings when you were looking for a solution to your problem, and if you did, what did you search for, i.e. what search strings and/or regexps did you use for the search? > I'd like to send a patch for this help file with one sentence or so > added.

CVS will merge files for you automagically.
