Douglas,

The programmer did write documentation!  That's what we
currently have.  Often it is a good idea for a non-programmer (ie. user)
to write the documentation from their point of view.

Anyway, this is open software and the more people that help
develop it (and it's documentation) the better.  If you don't write
it I'm sure somebody will someday :-)
