(Others, feel free to pipe up with what you'd like to see documented in what order, but I'd like to know where Wes thinks the gaps are, too.)

I'm feeling like doing some WeiDU documentation again. What areas do you think should get updated soonest?

Here's a partial list, made mostly of "things I know aren't documented much, that I more or less fully comprehend and am therefore qualified to write up:"

- A_S_T/A_T_T

- A list of "Things you should never use, and the situations in which it might be okay to use them." (REPLACE, STRING_SET, REPLACE_ACTION_TEXT, REPLACE_TRIGGER_TEXT, !strref SAY, etc.)

- A brief ADD_MUSIC writeup finally

- Something else that hasn't occurred to me.

Maybe the crazy tra thing should be documented as well. I can do that as well as maybe a blurb on how to use COPY_EXISTING_REGEXP and EXTEND_TOP/BOTTOM_REGEXP.

My TODO file includes a reminder to change chain3/interject/i_c_t to mention that DO actions are allowed, chain can end in exit or copy_trans, initial conditions are possible, etc.

Thanks for offering to write some docs, Jason. I am much obliged.

Forceify, presumably.

Yeah, I had "update that CHAIN tutorial again" on the list somewhere. If Blue doesn't return from self-imposed Net exile soon I may just have to fix up her banter tutorial myself soon as well.

You still didn't tell me what you'd rather see me do FIRST.

The LANGUAGE tp2 action where WeiDU automatically knows what the top directory is. I may be alone in this, but it confused the hell out of me when I looked at the docs.
