Default VBA Help files

Excel 5.0 was my introduction to VBA when the old DOS Macro functions were on
the way out. I learned to program in VBA by using the help files that were
available with the XL 5 in Windows95. The help files were user friendly
enough to explain the dos and don'ts when using the sample code. There were
even notes that referred the user to another code area if they wanted to do
something similar but a little different. The current VBA help in Windows
2003 lacks the additional information that would help beginners. What is
there is OK for experienced users who just need a memory jog, but it lacks
the detail that beginners need. I think Microsoft could improve the VBA help
files. If you agree, click the button.
