Amen, brother!  The 9.2 documentation is much more difficult
to use.  Why, when SAS is under more and more pressure to be
competitive, do they muck up their documentation so that it
is of little or no use?

SAS has had problems with their html documentation in the
past, but I thought that the documentation for 9.1.3 worked
quite well.  It seemed that they had gotten things right
(at least for the most part) and then they screw it all up
again.

Argh!!!
