hi james,

thanx for clarifying this...
so i gather that the help file is about randomness in general...

i agree that it's essential to have more tutorial, language, and 
topic-based help
but those are already becoming a native SC wiki-style tutorial

why not make a wiki-style tutorial and use Cmd-? for specific help?
does wiki work in linux?
