Hello!

Is anyone besides me befuddled by Borland's choice to imitate the
terrible documentation implementation used by Microsoft in their
Visual Studio development suite in JBuilder?

I had played around with Microsoft J++ and was so annoyed at
the documentation / help files. I had looked forward to using JBuilder
and having the documentation like Delphi -- where you click on a component
and get hot links to METHODS, PROPERTIES, etc..
but this does not exsist in JBuilder either!! Did Sun make all these
companies write crappy documentation to frustrate all us programmer?

Please reply -- I hope I'm not the only one who feels this way.
