While reading a help file, ever feel the need to write a comment, perhaps something you remember or understand now but believe you will not remember or understand later? No problem. Just click on the "Edit" menu from the help file window, choosing "Annotate". You can then type in your desired comments. Click on the "Save" button when you are complete.
