Yeah, I'm not too worried about it being obsolete, I just think it's the best doc I've come across and I'd hope it would be a going concern. I'm preferring it to the book, even, mostly due to the fact that the former spends less time digressing into other shells. The Googleverse is a sad place when one is looking for the best docs because it shows you everything. Nice to find the really best doc and trust it. BTW, I figured out how/why it came to be that I thought the Guide and the Manual were the same thing: It's because they show the same icon in a browser tab so I closed one at random, thinking they were the same doc anyway and I guessed wrong.
