Manuals are a real challenge. The usual problem is one must read the whole manual to get the big picture and then go back
and bisect it to get specifics. Then if one is looking for understanding, each little part becomes a topic by itself, and, don't forget the practical application of the information. Good grief should you get real techie about something.
If I combined all my reference manuals and info, which are in binders, it would easily be 6 linear feet on a shelf.
For the LazyTurn manual I had over 500 pages of text to be rewritten and put into some sort of context.
In nut shell, it's very difficult to do a manual that will satisfy every question or need.
What more can one say.
