Re: .ini documentation

Hi Robin

Just to add to Ray's comments..

The answer to your original question would probably take the middle ground. 
It is a mix of "it's already done" and "still to do" with a bit of "help 
needed" thrown in.

The LyX version of the Handbook started out as a rehash of the Ver. 2 at 
linuxcnc.org. Some new sections have been compiled, and others slightly 
reworked. A few areas are well out of date and need a complete rewrite, and 
the Index needs a substantial effort.

Although the LyX file requires the viewer/editor from www.lyx.org to perform 
any editing, we do have the ability to generate pdf and html docs from it 
quickly and easily. Other file formats can also be produced with minimal 
effort should they be required.

Regards, Paul.
