I'm trying to sync my laptop with my main desktop computer.
The help info is all firefox related, showing a screen that

using SeaMonkey.
Is there better SeaMonkey related documentation?

Depends on whether the two computers use same OS. If, for instance,
they are both Windows 7, you can simply copy the profile directory from
one to the other.
If not, say the master is W7 and the slave is XP, you can do the same
but need to then edit the prefs.js file on the XP system.
For instance:
You can copy the master Win7 profile over the laptop profile on the Win
XP machine to sync the profiles.
However, to account for the different profile locations between W7 and
WXP, (with SM closed) you then must edit "prefs.js" on the laptop.
Search and replace all instances of:
Users\\\\[user]\\\\AppData\\\\Roaming\\\\Mozilla\\\\SeaMonkey\\\\Profiles\\\\
with:
Documents and Settings\\\\[user]\\\\Application
Data\\\\Mozilla\\\\SeaMonkey\\\\Profiles\\\\
and:
Users\\[user]\\AppData\\Roaming\\Mozilla\\SeaMonkey\\Profiles\\
with:
Documents and Settings\\[user]\\Application
Data\\Mozilla\\SeaMonkey\\Profiles\\
Substitute [user] with the appropriate User account name in the OS.
I've acutally got a macro which does this for me in a click.
And it's much better if the email accounts are IMAP which makes
synchronizing a breeze.
