>>Thanks Tamar. What about simple "structural" changes aimed at improving the 'speed' of its utility? Things like:
>>1) Stating what is returned, not just the type, when applicable;
>>2) Stating "Optional" beside the parameter name line when it is an optional parameter;
>>3) Stating the default, when applicable, in the parameter name line itself as opposed to within the definition or the remarks section;
>>4) Something to make changes from the immediately prior version easy to identify.

>I think these are good suggestions to put in the documentation section here. The changes this time around seem to be focused on overall structure and on getting more "how to" kinds of information into Help. I know, though, that Microsoft is interested in hearing concrete suggestions on how to make Help more helpful. (In fact, Esther Fan is here. We chatted a little.)
I did that the day after the documentation section was inititated here. So I must admit significant disappointment that none have happened@#!$@#!
These are such simple changes that I think would have major impact and the fact that they are not in there indicates to me that the documentation category here is about as useful as the MS Bug Reporting facility.
