Why does it still say "Gimp-2.4.3..." when I have downloaded "Gimp-2.4.4..."?

How can I get access to and use The Gimp's help files? I can't access the Gimp Manual either, from inside The Gimp.

I am a very raw novice at modern computing, but with considerable experience with the old-fashioned computing - Pascal, C, Lisp, Scheme and some UNIX. If you're going to try to help me please be very explicit and exact. I still don't "get it" and need all the help I can get.

Thanks

1. You should probably uninstall gimp 2.4.3 and then reinstall 2.4.4. 2. Gimp help is another download and install.

I'm not familiar with Mac's and how they load software, so I can't really be more specific about this.

Good luck,

Jim

I would suggest to ask this on the wilder-loves-apple Forum. Since they did the packaging, they should know how to fix this issue.
