1) the FAQ is shipped with the "Official" version of AfterStep.
A) tarball
i) you need sgml2html
ii) it wasn't Official
B) rpm
i) complain to the person who made the rpm that they
missed the FAQ
ii) RedHat - yell at them to release documentation to the
"easy to use configuration" changes they made
2) the menu item on the (start)menu called "AfterStepDoc" will
take you to the local FAQ.
3) Andrew Sullivan, who maintains the FAQ, has a method of finding
the latest FAQ in his signature.
4) The 1.4.5 FAQ can be obtained from the outdated web page
5) The 1.4.6 FAQ (latest) is on the f.a.o/pub site/dir.
It can't get any easier that this :)
