Aloha from Honolulu,
My 2 cents: Why not stick it in a subject in the help files?
I had a hard time with the FAQ the first time I used Dev-C++. My first=20
stop when using a new program is always the Help files; and since these=20
are enfolded and have to be clicked on to open each sub-directory (and=20
then each subject) I found them very frustrating. Then I switched to=20
the index tab and couldn't find the subject I was looking for. So I=20
sympathize with everyone who sends that question to the list.
