I have been meaning to look at Wink. I use Camtasia. Have you used it? Are they about the same? I will look at it, too, so I am not asking you to do my analysis - just curious on your opinion. Thanks for keeping the information coming! Amy

You will see other comments (or at least receive them) from me probably, as time goes on. I hope you will take them in the spirit they are offered: humble and hopefully helpful. In your text on this page it states: "For you text explanations, you can use the inbuilt Callout Editor to create custom shaped callouts, and for the navigation buttons, you can use custom bitmaps (full transparency/alpha channel support)." You probably meant "For your..." Thanks - sincerely.
