I know this difficult situation :-(
There are a few strategies to cope with this problem:
- Try to delay the description of details.
- Leave many details to the online documentation.
- Concentrate (if they let you) on the user interface of the
program. If you improve that, you have less to explain afterwards.
No real solution, but a few ideas...
BTW: Many have known me as a regular contributor to this list but I had nearly
disappeared during the last months. Last week I moved to a new location and
that only was the final stage of a private disaster. But the future looks
brighter now...
Greetings from Germany,
Alexander
