I am so tired of describing this procedure. by ag__wyvern 2008-03-19 00:19:19
Doing some online help aimed at users who range from neophyte to expert. Unfortunately, that means step by step instructions for the new users.

I'm breaking it into a bunch of 'progressive disclosure' steps (so experts don't have to see every little step.

I've got seven first level steps.
Step 1 has 5 steps. One of those has 4 steps, another has 10.
Step 2 has 4 steps. One of those has 6.
Step 3 has 3 steps. One of those has 4.
Step 4 has 5 steps. One has 5, another has 2.
Step 5 is a single step!
Step 6 has 8 to 12 steps (not finished this one yet).
Step 7 will have about 8 steps, maybe some with steps of their own.

Argh. So far, that's around 65-70 steps. Gak.

And I can't break them into separate topics at all, because this is one logical flow to accomplish a specific task, with no overlap with any other process.

Bru. Tal. :-)
