Yes, I agree. And if I was getting paid to do this,
I would probably document and define every damn keyword.
(Have I mentioned that I've grown very, very tired,
indeed, of keyword inheritance?) But, spending weeks and weeks
documenting keywords that get used once every 10 years
seems *exactly* like the kind of thing my wife is always
warning me against. :-(

I could probably duplicate a help page of "graphics
keywords", but this would be a re-hash of a page
that already exists. And, Lord knows we don't want to
encourage yet more documentation to go missing from
the "official" documentation. Although maybe I should
at least copy it. Taking it away from us may be the
only thing that will get us to use the "new" graphics!

Cheers,

David
