Great!  Like I said, even though only a small percentage of users
RTFM, it's still more than worth-while to provide FM and, if nothing
else, it does save on answering the same question over and over if you
can at least point new users somewhere.

Documentation is a somewhat paradoxical thing: If you have it, people
won't read it without additional encouragement (usually with the
pointy end of something sharp) but if you don't have it, they will
flame you to toast for not having TFM for them to !R. :-)
