I am not sure I understand your last comment. You didn't find a discrepancy in the documentation. apply and bucket are explained in there, perhaps not very well, but those commands are documented and are working as expected. I would love to have a better example if you would like to provide one, as I said drewr3.dat is very contrived in order to show lots of features without a huge file. The documentation has been very stable for a year (I write it). It certainly isn't complete, but I don't know of any place where it is wrong.
