Thanks for the feedback Ted :-)

T> 1. Should a mention of the shared global powerpro variables

That's a good idea, to include those global vars which are
set by a few commands or functions. I guess they would be
called "specific return variables".

Does "autotraymin" belong on your list?
I haven't seen it mentioned as a variable in any versions of Help.
I just tested by putting "*metapad" on my Auto tray min list
in the Setup dialog, then minimised metapad. It went to the tray
as expected, but win.debug(autotraymin) shows nothing.

Are there any more which belong in that group of specific variables
set by commands or functions or plugin calls?

T> 2. I wonder if it is time to retire mentioning the asterisk in

Sounds good. Maybe we should retire the asterisks and distinguish
built in commands from plugin calls, script running calls, etc,
by using initial capitals: Window.Close(...)

Generally, we are at the "nearly released" stage of only making error
corrections. All ideas arriving too late to be implemented this
time have been put on a To Do list (or at least a To Discuss list)
for next time.
In a month or two, I'd like to start discussing the next release of Help,
open to all kinds of ideas and requests, both broad and detailed. By then
people will have been using Stage One for long enough to have a list of
annoyances and what's missing.
