But we have to get the newbie started before they are going to dive in
and learn manuals.
I don't read the manuals until I decide I want to use some new piece of
software. I am reading the LyX manuals now only after using it for a
few weeks and deciding I want to move from troff to lyx.
Because it is part of getting started, it has to be easy.
