Marc,

May I suggest that, in addition to such a link being in the
installation, itself, that it also be available under "Help" or some
such for those who don't want it immediately, but might want it later
on?  It would simply be a minor additional courtesy for those who wanted
to see what the software could do on its own before adding to it.
