Douglas,

The programmer did write documentation!  That's what we
currently have.  Often it is a good idea for a non-programmer (ie. user)
to write the documentation from their point of view.

Anyway, this is open software and the more people that help
develop it (and it's documentation) the better.  If you don't write
it I'm sure somebody will someday :-)

How can I write the documentation when I don't understand how the software 
works?
Are you suggesting I learn C and look at the code?

I'm of the opinion that developers should write documentation. If other people 
try to do it, they make bad assumptions based on what they THINK they know. 
They then write bad or wrong documentation which others read, and in turn also 
write bad documentation. It's not a good model.

Doug
