I agree entirely, a good manual is far better than online documentation. It
is worth paying more for software if you get a good manual with it. Or do
it the way Hisoft did with IBrowse, you could buy the manual only if you
wanted it - which I did as I like to read how to use software when I am not
even near my computer.
Manuals you can take to work to read, guide files you can't unless you want
to lug an Amiga tower system around with you.

Guide files are not too bad but HTML documentation is a pain especially if
you have IBrowse set up to run on its own screenj - which is better for web
browsing but not for reading documentation.
