I will get back to you on it, I need to find time to sit down and make
notes.

Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic achievement (I was amazed when that 
person said it was so many pages), and the things I've noticed don't really
bother me that much.  It's just that it's not always laid out in the way my
mind works - this is true of almost all documentation, including that which
I've written some years ago!  And what I think is a logical way to put 
things now will probably seem totally illogical in a few years time...

(You do seem to have avoided some of the real howlers I've made in 
documentation - on occasions even I can't understand what I meant!  I guess
that's why I'm a programmer and not a technical author <g>...)
