Maybe launch the manual when the user first uses WED?




Don't be silly, who wants to read the manual?

I think this is already in the works, but an interface that conforms to Windows' UI design rules and principles would be helpful for newcomers. (I have heard there is such a thing, but I haven't actually searched it out and downloaded it. It is somerthing similar to an ISO document).

For the completely clueless you might offer a walkthough or popups, but I don't know how far you want to go.

You could also guide them to the forum, where we RTFM so they don't have to!
