you can teach the language, but programming is a skill
I'd go with Les... Goto and gosubs are a crutch for sloppy thinking

Here you go Lonk... set up a wiki server here, and we can write our own manual, instead of pointing everyone to SL's online manual

Wow, did you see the costs of running Wikipedia? Last year was like 3/4 Million dollars.
The Wikimedia Foundation Inc. is the parent organization of Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikibooks (including Wikijunior and Wikiversity), Wikisource, In Memoriam 9/11, Wikimedia Commons, Wikispecies, and Wikinews. It is a non-profit corporation based in St. Petersburg, Florida, USA, and organized under the laws of Florida. Its existence was officially announced by Wikia CEO and Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales on June 20, 2003

The point is, that each item can be edited and updated quicker and easier than the word doc, examples can be made and commentary on best practices added at will, by anyone willing to do the work.
Les can denigrate GOTO as much as he likes and provide details of WHY it shouldn't be used... stuff that couldn't be done in any "official" manual
Pointers to specific UDFs can be added to specific commands that exemplify or "replace" them.. like DIR, there are a dozen UDFs that make handling the DIR cmd easier. etc....
