I've never had much success with online help systems in WDSC & its predecessors (and other products from othe vendors.) They are great to confirm something you already know something about, but to teach concepts there are useless, at least for me. You search for xxx and you get a hit that tells you xxx is invoked from the yyy dialog, but then you have to work back to find where the yyy dialog is invoked, which comes from zzz, repeat until you find something you recognize. I need a tutorial, preferably one I can easily print. (I actually do read manuals. Or I used to before they went out of fashion...) Phil C., or someone pointed to a tutorial on the RPG/Cobal features which I downloaded and will print shortly. But I'm pretty sure it won't cover the SQL Tools though. Maybe I'll get to go to Fall Common and get some classes.
