I agree that searchability is good. The documentation was originally
in RTF format (well actually, the *original* documentation as in TXT
format:) I converted to HTML mainly to allow cross-linking within the
documentation, and immediately ran into the searchability problem
(I've been cheating and using one of the old RTF copies when I need to
find someting:) My first thought was to get an HTML-PDF converter, but
I couldn't find a good one that was free or at least cheap. I finally
did; it doesn't handle all of my CSS, so I was going to wait for the
next version. I also considered implementing a JS search function, but
I'm not sure how workable that would be.

And I see we already have another volunteer. I could probably provide
*some* useful input <G>, so that makes three. I'd like to keep it in
HTML format, converting it to PDF for release.
