Support page for the webOS app series: How Do You Do This in SAS? (com.hollandnumerics.howsas*)

These apps, a series of eBooks about SAS software programming focusing on frequently asked questions and answers, are illustrated by code samples which can be sent by email directly from the app. They have been designed to encourage users to contribute questions some of which will be included in future versions of the app. There are controls to select specific questions, move to the previous or next question, decrease or increase the font to suit the user's preference, and send emails requesting answers to questions not yet included in that version of the eBook.
