[chirp_users] Thanks to the authors

[Marcia Stockton]

How about a pop-up window when Chirp opens on the PC, containing a 
clickable link to the beginner's guide?  Could save the authors a lot of 
time answering basic questions.  Or a Chirp, Help, User's Guide on the 
main menu going to the same file.   Just basic connecting the different 
parts of the software package together in places where users would 
expect to find documentation.  That is the absolute minimum for 
usability, IMO.

Thanks,
NU6N
