Unless I misunderstand...I would have to disagree with you there. First
of all, FAQs tend to be something that really only applies to Newbies.
Not that new features no longer baffle long-time users...rather they have
different methods of solving problems. I will admit, I havn't looked at
an Afterstep FAQ for a very long time. REally serious problems that come
up anymore aren't answered there anyhow. I gotta ask the gurus. =)
