Mary Bernard collected all the help files, configured them to print with a
minimum of formatting, and donated her effort to NB/NY, which in 7.0b
included an option in the drop-down help menu to print these. If you have
FinePrint -- one of the few utilities worth what it costs -- you can print
them out as a booklet, roughly some 20-30 pages, I reckon. But, alas, there
is no such thing as our Customization Guide, badly organized for sure but
comprehensive and invaluable.


There's some catechism at these sites:

http://www.helsinki.fi/~jtakala/notabene.html

Both Mary Bernard and Jukka-Pekka Takala are active on the NB listserv and
both are as generous with their time as our two senior shepherds are here.
Additionally you can do this to search the NB archives (their search page
has been AWOL for a while). In Google's search box type *[blank space,
blank space] NOTABENE site:hamline.edu*. The [blank space] is where you put
your search terms. I saved the address as a favorite in IE6.


Finally, Steve Sibert, NB's technical support person these days, is a
pleasure to work with.
