Glenn,

I don't think there's any reason to flame you :) I think that every
situation is different and it really depends on how the help is being used.
There are good arguments for both sides.

However, if necessary, I do like the idea of putting redundant images at the
bottom of the help topic.

A snippet of what Glenn Maxey wrote:
Yeah, I know I'll get flamed for this and that it goes against the
advice of two other postings, but I put nearly as many images into the
online help as I do into a printed manual. (If I'm doing
single-sourcing, then they all go in.)

My reasoning is that online help provides multiple ways of getting to a
single topic where the image might appear...
