minimalist? online help

["Nancy Mignone" <n_mignone -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

Hello,

Our online help is, I guess, minimalist: few colors, just the essential 
information in any procedure, no introductory material before procedures, 
very little in the way of location indicators. I mean, it is bare bones.

I have some sections that I need to update. I am wondering if I should add 
some of the following:

screenshots (controversial, I know)
product overview
file re-ordering to follow logical order of operations
locational directives
explanations of why a user might perform a given procedure.

Because I will be doing it in stages (we have a release in December), I'll 
have to plan out thoroughly what changes I intend to make, in order to 
assure consistency throughout.

What do you think?
