[kepler-users] The most impressive thing you've done with Kepler

[Christopher Brooks]

Hi Ketan,
I have not checked Kepler yet, but Ptolemy has a feature where each
actor lists the demonstrations in which it is used.  This helps
with determining _how_ to use the actor.

On my todo list is to add this facility to the tests as well, so
users can see other, less well documented uses.

    Hi Ketan,
    
    What version of Kepler are you using?  We've spent the last year and a 
    half reworking all of the actor documentation.  You should be able to 
    right click on any actor and view the documentation for that actor.  Are 
    you not seeing that documentation?
