I have to comment, here. You have FABULOUS documentation, Aparajita. I have dealt with other vendors who release new and improved versions of their software, but haven't touched the documentation for several versions. THAT pisses me off. Having such thorough documentation for a nonexistent method might be a little embarrassing to you, but it impresses the hell out of me. Keep up the good work. In the future, you might want to specifically indicate those methods that don't exist yet. Hahaha!
