I've now fixed the last of the bugs in the script, and the present form of the manual is how it'll stay.  So feel free to edit pages, add more content, clarify things etc.

Eventually I'd like every manual page to have two sections, a summary and a detailed information section.  The detailed information could possibly be inactive (using the TikiWiki DHTML features).  Also it might be good to change all the switch definitions to give the possible parameters, i.e. either "on|off" or "on|off|<value>", where value would be something that describes the meaning of this parameter.

I've removed the index since the site is searchable now, which is a lot better than looking something up in the index anyway.

			Resolved so far:
⚫	-=Comments=-
			* Page names will remain as they are by RunningWordsTogether
			* Accents, other commands etc. should work now, using Wiki markup where available
			* Missing pages have been found. They had been abducted by a bug.

			Bugs remaining:
	Can spaces in the Topic names be converted to underscores at import time  instead of having the words run together? - Den
			* Incorrect characters for accented letters, using iso-8559-1 instead of utf8
			* When importing, Tiki changes all URL links to img links. Don't know why or how to fix it.  Might need manual editing after importing.
			* Words run together like OpenWatcom turn into Wiki links

			Any ideas to solve these bugs, or other bugs, please respond below
	A: Pages names can have spaces, but it's more usual to form names by RunningWordsTogether, for that is how wikis have always been :) C.

		⚫	-=Comments=-
	Also, the search at the top left is full-text enabled, so you should be able to find it in there regardless of the space arrangements.

	Also I have noticed quite a few pages with wrong navigation links, where the page is empty because the link structure and the pagenames don't agree.  Also all accented letters are wrong.  Will fix this soon...
