I think it would be better to have a "global" document, kind of like the 
user's guide, that would cover all the standard menu items, gui 
elements, and other repetitive, basic things. Then we can let the app 
docs just cover things specific to the particular app. (Less irrelevant 
stuff to sort out.)
