Re: Task-based versus UI-based documentation

[Damien Braniff <Damien -dot- Braniff -at- asg -dot- com>]

Ideally both! :-)

For context sensitive, UI based - you hit help on a screen and you want to know what THAT screen does and what the different fields are.

I want to do XXX - task that may/probably(!) cover several screens.

It shouldn't be an either/or situation.
