Praise: Rev Documentation to the rescue

[Charles Hartman]

I agree with this -- I think it's one of the virtues of Rev, and it  
goes along with virtues of clarity in the building of GUIs and so on.  
The command write-ups are terse, but pretty clear.

I don't think most of the documentation problems have to do with  
Transcript, though maybe I'm wrong about that. I think it's the IDE  
that could use more thorough documentation. But then, I'm scraping by  
without getting Dan Schafer's book, so maybe it's just a complaint  
for the penurious & the stingy . . .
