Abstract :
The author describes some of her experiences in developing online information that is integrated with a software product. She discusses (1) the definition of the product´s user interface by the information developer´s, (2) the development of windowed and field-sensitive help for a mainframe product, and (3) the prototyping of online help with the product´s user interface. She concludes that her experiences indicate how development of online information can be more fully integrated with the development of the entire software product and result in a more usable product
