So with the first pre-release of Toucan 2.0.4 out in the beta testing forums I am now looking at features for the next version. One of the things that irks me the most about the current version is the manual, it is difficult to use and it hasn't kept up with the lastest features.
So here is my question to you the community, are there any help files or manuals for a program that you really like? The more links the better! I shall download and have a look at as many as possible before diving into creating a new manual for Toucan, so your input will make a huge difference.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Steve.
I think having an explanation of what a portable variable is and how to use them would be good for the manual. Also some examples would be great. Same thing for the rules which I know are much more self explanatory but would certainly be helpful to have a detailed explanation and examples. Again same thing with scripts.
Also if the explanations and exmaples could include illustrated guides where possible I think that would be great. A good exaple of a manual IMO thatshoes all aspects of an app and has enough illustrations to make it easy to understand is the Alcohol 120% guide. This is located here - http://support.alcohol-soft.com/documentation/alcohol-user-manual.pdf
Hope this helped
