Personally, I do NOT count that as documentation, since (1) F1 doesn't find the symbol, (2) the Doc Center article titled "Inequalities" doesn't mention Inequality, (3) nor does the OTHER article entitled "Inequalities", (4) neither does the TUTORIAL entitled "Inequalities", and (5) the message above doesn't explain anything whatsoever about how to use Inequality. There's not even a "More" button. How would one type ?Inequality in the first place, if one didn't already know it existed, with precisely that name? And how does a newbie know that?
