This is also where i am talking about in the threath Curios
If you want to write a good manual for a program
You have to write it like you don't know a thing about  programs
Or Windows or anything else related to the program.
And it is the very first time you have bought a chessprogram
While you didn't even knew the game.
So you have to think like you start from zero
Before you write it.
So everyone can understand perfectly where your writing about.
This does not only helps the begining user  the avarage or expert user.
But even the one who writes the manual.
