<p>Basic help screen documentation question</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Would it be appropriate to provide a much greater level of detail in the help screens?<br /> <br /> Or at least describe one or two of the features for the particular screen?<br /> <br /> '''Example:'''<br /> <br /> This is Global configuration where you may change such settings as the TIME ZONE and turn on/off SEO settings.</div>
