huh? pages? do you mean paper pages? Or do you mean the online doc? (I 
do not mention the pdf which is not finished).

OK, I have just spent the night looking at DocsLib by BvG, and i'm 
tired.

To make things simple, a VERY nice (and IMHO, simple)  improvement on 
the rev online doc would by the ability to send a "doc" command with 
syntax
"doc string"
where string may be anything
and which would have the same effect as typing the string in the search 
field of the online doc (nothing more, nothing less than the doc 
window).

This would make it easier to produce introductory stacks with links to 
the official documentation.

Should not be that difficult from the developers' point of view.

Very best,
	Francois
