1. People are different.  Some people learn better by reading text,
others learn better from pictures.  Some things are easier to learn one
way than another--world-class chess players may learn from books, but
I think most world-class tennis players learn from coaches in person.
In my experience it's not uncommon for research groups to issue demo
videos.

2. Maybe I missed it, but I don't think I saw the function of the
ESCAPE key documented either of those papers.  I believe I stumbled
across it in the archives by accident:

3. To me, personally, the "Help" paper is just "more fun" than the
Acme paper.  What do you think?
