  • TODO: Add a full help file
  • This one is just a place holder for now

An expanded single page How-to guide for BeAE would be nice to have. If you have the time perhaps you can work on creating one and then email it to haiku@scottmc.com for review and possible inclusion. The rest of this page is just copied from the history.html file.
