  Well, I wanted to do something productive for AfterStep, and, until
I get my Xlib programming books and study some more Xlib programming
I'm kinda out of the coding loop...  And since I wanted a large
project to focus some efforts developing DocBook skills, I decided to
start the AfterStep User's Guide, since we don't yet have one.

  Enclosed is an outline of what will go in the User's Guide.  It's
somewhat incomplete, but I'd like everyone to take a look at it and
(optionally) edit and comment on it.

Tia,
