From: Foolish Frost Are you speaking of the picture on the next page, or the text? I guess it applies to both, now that you mention it. I was referring to the text though. "At the top of the Inventory list you will notice a section called 'Library'." Given the time I'm sure it took to create this wonderful guide, The 'Library' was probably at the top when that section was written. Not a big deal and really not worth changing. Who knows what they'll move, in the next update .  It's great. Let it stand as it is. You'll drive yourself crazy with the re-writes trying to keep up. |

And yet, it's a legitimate error, and has been archived for fixing in the next edition. In fact, I would LOVE it if people would bring such things to my attention when they find them. Just do me a favor and do it at SLDrama.com if you can. I can't always know where someone comments elsewhere. Especially when these forums go byebye. I plan on spending a bit of time when an update breaks things in the manual to update it. I figure it good that way. It's not meant to be a long term usage manual, either: it's a beginners book to get them started. once they get the hang of it, then they use teh wiki's and such. I just know a lot of people who want a 'book' as opposed to a 'database' to get the general drift.  |

Read it last night. Wonderful document! Well done Foolish. Now all we need is a way to read it in-world... hrm, now there's a thought. Think you can get it output as a graphic and make a primbook?

I pass out the link at least once or twice a day to new people I run across. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.  |

Hi Foolish I was responding to Siobhan a bit late at night. I should have said that sooner or later Google will convert it into a html document and then if we get html on a prim we'll be able to read it online in world! That way we will always be looking at the latest version. Ed |

Ed Ahhh! Might be a long wait. Well, we have 345 downloads of the manual so far! Woo! I wonder how many are new players? Anyway, enjoy your downtime! |
