Interesting...nobody actually answered the question, that I can see. Maybe answering questions has gone the way of Help systems and the dodo bird. There is a benefit to Help systems (and answering questions) that fobbing references to Tutorials don't give you: a specific answer to a specific question, unencumbered by a narrative of supplementary material that is without question helpful in the long run, but is a lot of extra baggage in the moment. Lest we forget...

Leslie,

So, I figured it out myself, which may suggest to some that Help for that
(creating a new scene) is not needed. However, I believe that Help systems
are important for good usability. I believe it is an economic decision for
companies to foist user assistance off on forums, covering the basic tasks
with talking-head/screen-capture videos. As described in my initial post,
the drawback to that approach is that it is a poor use of the user's time,
and, in the forums, transfers the burden from the producing company to the
users and e-heroes: Rather than quickly finding the specific answer in Help,
users have to go to the forum, perhaps search for a string that answers
their question, then if they don't find it, ask the question and wait a few
hours to *maybe* get an answer. And it may take followup, etc. So what
should take a few minutes takes at best hours. Further, monitoring the
forums and responding to questions is a poor use of the "e-heroes" time. The
company saved money, at the expense of users and experts.
