RE: Context Sensitive Help

["Dan Goldstein" <DGoldstein -at- riverainmedical -dot- com>]

Ummm... You're trying to convince Sales that it doesn't add enough
value? Where I come from, it goes this way (using the code name "Herman"
in place of "context sensitive help"):

* Sales determines how much Herman would add to sales revenue.
* Documentation determines how much it would cost to build Herman.
* Management determines whether Herman's worth it.
