- I agree that both are needed. If I need to read something like, for
- example, "Overview of OCX Control Technology," that's something I want
- to take to the bathroom with me. But for a reminder of the order of
- parameters in a seldom-used function call, there's nothin' like being
- able to type the function name and press <F1>!

- If I ever had to have one or the other, I'd want it online. I do have a
- printer, after all.
