V1.5 Help Manual

I know this sounds a little naive, but I have just started to use Version 1.5 and it does look fantastically good! The problem is, I want to get a good appreciation of what it can do but I need to push it over to the simulator in xcode, every time. So my question is - is there a user manual to the version Version 1.5? Otherwise I'm doing a suck - and - see each time I use a new feature and reviewing same in the simulator

A few answers to this: First...there are few ways to best 'see' the screens and features as you tinker about. The best way is to get your app on your phone. Not though the app store, but using Xcode. Install it on your phone. Next, when you make changes in the control panel... use the Refresh Button on your app's home screen (on your phone) - wala - it's updated. You could also do this on the simulator. Launch the sim..make a change on the control panel, use Refresh Button in sim. You dont' need to recompile everytime you change something on the control panel. That's kind of the idea. User Manual: YES, we really really need to put this together. We've struggled for months (years) at keeping up with all the documents necessary to explain and demostrate each feature. It's horribly time consuming and it's the kind of thing that gets outdated so fast that it's tough to justify. Here's another way to look at it. We don't have a bunch of writers around. 150% of our resources are developing, inventing, creating, HELPING, etc. Sigh... We will eventually get some docs together, just don't know when, pout face.

David - you have said the magic words - I just hadn't looked that far ahead - I have an iPhone 3gs - I'll download to that! One other point, I don't see the fun quiz on the new V1.5 - have I missed that or have you guys deliberately deleted it? Cheers Dennis
