This help system is very strange (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb208225.aspx)

Why does the TOC get truncated when you click a topic?

What if you want to check out several topics from the original TOC -- it's not obvious how you re-display the complete TOC so you can get to another topic.

I've lost the original writer's name -- someone in this thread wrote:

************
Even MSDN switched from frames to no frames. It's not a question of design,
it's web standards meets usability.
*************

To the person who wrote that -- if you find improved usability in this help system, please elaborate on it for me -- I must be missing something.

Thanks.
