...and a valid point too.

See, personally, this is where the lines of technical manuals and how to guides become blurred. The Pro Tools Reference Guide is a technical manual and not a how to guide, however, the introduction of application how to's is making the Reference Guide a blended source. Thus, how far does one go.

Perhaps, as a result, trying to find a technical definition without an application how to would be likened to finding a nail in a hay stack.

However, the application of feature sets and how to's has it's place in an all in one .pdf guide, after all this is the point. It is it's excution that is befuddled.

What is wrong with a Reference Guide with an expand/collapse tree structure how to guide incorporated? Technical definitions with an application how to expand link. Thus, illustrating application and common workflow.
