I understand that, but you didn't comment on the stuff I wrote above
that. Silence means yes, right? :-)
I think I've made a valid comment about the user manual. I am using
the command-line interface, so I'd like the user manual to reflect
what I would see with that interface. But perhaps the typical person
reading the user manual will use one of the GUI interfaces, and the
manual should reflect that perhaps.
