KEIL help files...

<rant on>

Is it just me, or do other folks think that the usefulness of KEIL's help files has gone downhill?

When searching through the RealView toolchain help files, for example, I often can't find the answer to a problem because I don't already know the answer. What I mean by that is, if you don't know the right keyword to search for, the answer can be *very* difficult to find.

Here's a suggestion... why not publish the help files in PDF format, and also enable the annotation feature in them. At least that way there'd be full text search capability, and, you'd have a good chance at finding the answer by finding the right chapter and reading through it. Plus, you could add little notes to the text like you used to be able to do when the help files came printed in a book.

I'm not trying to dog the quality of the help in the help files, but I am dogging not being able to find the answers I'm looking for because the search capability in the help files doesn't seem to work very well.
