[Peter Van Houten]

I find myself agreeing with this whole heartedly. I have asked poor Don 
a lot of beginner questions as the software supports a lot of these 
modes but finding the answers in the Mac based Ham world is difficult. 
There would be more migration to the mac platform is such a help manual 
or examples (web pages) were available. Some one showing the specifics 
of how they did the different modes and what hardware they used would 
be helpful. Do's and don'ts and errors made (avoid this!) would be 
great!
