At least in Windows XP, with 4 MByte RAM, I don't find any of
this to be true. The on-line help works in what I would think
of as an "intuitive" way. At least, it didn't do anything
for me that startled me or annoyed me. I'm very happy with it.
I certainly can find what I have looked for so far.

Cheers,

David
