I'm really glad the docs are being updated. I know that's a monumental 
task. I only use a fraction of Leo's commands, mostly because I don't even 
know what they're supposed to accomplish. A few examples:

1) There are seven 'Rectangle' commands. Running help-for-command Rectangle 
yields the following:
Rectangle
+++++++++

no docstring available

What do Rectangles do? How are they useful?

2) In the recently posted history of Leo (which is very interesting, by the 
way), there's a reference to 'Tangling'. I've seen that referenced 
elsewhere, but I have no idea what 'tangling' is. Again, running 
help-for-command tangle, I get the following less than useful advice:
tangle
++++++

Tangle all @root nodes in the selected outline.

These are just a few from the largish list of commands in the Cmds menu 
that have little to no meaning without proper context. I've been using Leo 
for several years, but since I'm not a programmer (mostly a writer), I've 
always assumed these commands were intended for the secret society of 
'in-the-know' programmers. I've always had the nagging sense that I may be 
missing some very useful tools. Anyway, keep up the good work.

PS I'm reminded of when I visit my friend's cabinet-making shop and see 
some really cool tools, but it's not obvious what they do until he shows me 
how he uses them to build stuff.
