Hello, everyone!
I've noticed that "Online Help" is frequently referred to as just "Help."
I'd like to know how other technical writers refer to Help systems, and why!
I'd be happy to post a summary if anyone (besides me) is interested.
Please send a copy of your response to my email address, as I get the
digest.
