We are running on both Solaris and MacOS X and the help is PDF on both
of those.

I would also comment to David that sometimes users are loathe to change
for a good reason. User interface is a big deal to some of us and this
really appears to be a step backwards. Unfortunate. It seems things
like this should improve with time, users should not have to "just get
used to it". That is a real Microsoft type mentality.
