This is a open source project.
If you find lack of documentation you are invited to write it.
You can give something instead of whining about voluntary work done by
others.
If you don't like Harbour there are commercial alternatives where you
can demmand for what you've paid.

Angel,
while I substancially must agree with the general sense of your post,
this is not an answer.
And it's quite rude and does not help any newcomers. Moreover, it can
cause people not to look into Harbour Project at all and stay away from it.
We all -I think- love Harbour not only because it's free, but because it
has some value DESPITE the fact that it's free.

Freedom (monetary) has  nothing to do with it.


The lack of documentation IS a problem

Maybe the truth is: Harbour is not ready for users not willing to put some effort on it.

and you can't simply tell a new user "do-it-yourself and if you don't like it fuck 
yourself."

You are tergiversing by words. And I don't have that kind of language.

Otherwise, It's a very valid answer.
Nobody has the right to ask anything from anybody here.
This package is the cummulative effort of a lot of programmers who have donated their time and knowledge without asking anything on return. Here nobody is selling anything and all contributiona are wellcome, be it testing, reporting bugs, documenting, helping newcommers or suggesting new features.
If it's not enought for you... I'm sorry.

Please if you can't be of any help avoid to write at all, this is not
the spirit of this mailing list.
Dan

My help is to the good people on this list.
Whenever a troll appears is better to get rid of him as soon as possible.


Said that, I will shut my mouth from now on.
