      You're Welcome Neil, I find it convenient to have it in the bookmark toolbar ( I use Firefox ) so it's always easy to refer to. Easier than hunting through the PDF manual.

        Hey, Gerry - Great job! Thanks, this helps a lot. One question though - how often is it updated? Does it always have the latest and greatest?

          That's a question I can't answer ----- a developer probably could. I have the impression from reading the forums that the browser version is updated more often than the pdf version.

              I just discovered this document. Thank you to those who are responsible for it.

              Can I assume that it is reasonably accurate for OR_NewYear_MG?

                The online manual will be somewhat out of date for NewYear, as I believe it only includes features that are complete, while NewYear (and Unstable) includes many work in progress features.
