I'd love to if: (1) I had the time; (2) I could be sure what *wasn't*
documented. I suspect that a lot of this stuff is in the manuals somewhere,
but I also admit that we were developing new commands on the fly as we needed
them, sometimes right up to ship date. Problem is, sometimes I don't know
what I know until somebody asks!

Aside: I don't know who did the original docs for III+; I do know the woman
who headed up the doc effort for Signature/Xy4/XyW. She is a skilled,
intelligent woman who was asked to do too much with too few resources on a
too-tight schedule. I've seen, read, and even indexed lots of other
documentation (Lotus, Symantec, etc.), and XY4 isn't as bad as some.
