Hi Kent, Most of the install issues have been with older versions. More recent Linux distributions are more standardised and easier to work with.
With dialog boxes, the help is supposed to appear on the side of the window. It works reasonably well on Windows but Linux windows tend to be a lot more spread out so the help gets a bit big. Maybe that was one of those good ideas that doesn't work too well in practice. Les Kent A.
