I absolutely and positively agree with Steve. The thing I notice in my
workplace is that sighted people who want to just print out a little help
file can do it with a keystroke. We must take hours more time to format the
thing etc. I really wish that adaptive software people would provide
braille manuals. I'd be willing to pay extra for them, although when you
consider what we pay for adaptive soft and hardware, the braille manuals
should be part of the package. The little Duxbury User's Guide I have in
Braille, which is really old, was nice and I'd like to see that updated.

In my opinion, Help files are good for refreshing your memory on a topic
with which you're already familiar. However, when you're first starting
out with a piece of software, or you need detailed instructions, there's
nothing like a hard copy (print or braille) which you can look at
independently of the computer. Unfortunately with most Windows software,
the trend is to have the Help files and forget about the manuals. I think
if we're going to get software that is truly "user friendly," we really
need both.
