    <font face="Verdana">I'm not terribly surprised about this. No,
      there's nothing very useful that ships with the product. There's a
      lot "out there" in blogs and wikis and maillists .. but unless you
      know where to look or who to ask, you're probably out of luck. Yes
      .. posting to the FM forum should have provided more than just a
      reference to the docs.<br>
      <br>
      The problem is that "creating a DITA project" in FrameMaker is
      really no different than doing that in any other XML authoring
      tool. You do need to understand the structured FrameMaker UI, but
      DITA is DITA regardless of the tool.<br>
      <br>
      I often answer those posts on the FM forum, don't know why I
      missed it.  :o<br>
