Printed documentation is coming...

In the meantime, you can use the RTFer stack available on the user contributions page 
to extract the online documentation to RTF format (or text or HTML).

By the way, as a general note, I fixed the but in RTFer where it put the syntax 
example in place of the example code, and I added a page number to the RTF export.

Yes and no. Yes, in that you simply open the HyperCard stack in Revolution (couldn't 
be easier than that, could it?). No, in that many HyperCard stacks use XCMDs or syntax 
that are unnecessary or slightly different in Revolution. Generally, for any 
reasonably complicated stack it's a reasonably involved process. Check out the 
excellent tutorial at:
