I bought the electronic version of your book, Lyle, and I quote from it:

  Online Documentation
  Despite rumors to the contrary, there is actually a good deal of online
  documentation for both FOX and FXRuby, if you know where to look
  for it.

So ... which is it: "There's not a lot of documentation" or there is a good deal of online documentation?

Lyle, you wrote a great book (Yes he did, Folks!)... but even offhand comments like the one I quoted from your book, above, can cause people to make assumptions and investments that they might not otherwise make.
