One thing I like about BIAB and RB is that there *IS* a cohesive theme through both of them. Once you understand the first feature, if you apply the same reasoning to other features, you'll be pretty close to having it figured out.

And if all else fails, there is a consistent use of HELP buttons on every feature dialog box. They've bailed me out on many occasions




Pat, I think you are onto something here.

And I'd only add that, after years participating in this forum, I've noticed that a good deal of posts pertaining to problems with the use of the program are often caused by the user, for some reason or other, deciding that the way they want to do something specific must be done in a fashion that they themselves think is the way to go about it, rather than looking into how BiaB actually does that particular thing.

There are Help files withing the program, there is the .pdf BiaB manual that installs in the bb folder, there are printed Manuals available, plus there is the rather comprehensive FAQ section of this website, BiaB specific, where the various entries and explanations have been culled from actual user posts on these forums, p;us there is a plethora of PGMusic tutorial videos and such. For some reason, those who prefer to find things out on this forum seem to want to avoid all those resources like the plague, preferring the forum and its rather personal exchange. That's okay with me, but the user must wait a much longer time to get good answers when the forum is their only chosaen source of information, eh?
