   ... So my friend wants me to help him describe the documentation for
   Genera 7!

If I were looking for it, I'd look under terminals or at door
entrances as a doorstop--these are the traditional places to find lost
LispM doc.  It's not as colorful as the Release 6 documentation, being
kind of an earthtone brown.  (Genera 7.0 doc has a 2" dark brown
stripe along the top of the spine, while Genera 7.0 looks more
depleted.)  Unique identifying marks, though?  Hmmm.  Genera 7.0 doc
(not sure about 7.2) shares with Release 6 documentation the bug that
the 0 in volume 0 has a slash through it but the 0 in volume 10 has no
slash.  Tell the postal system that errors on the spine of documents
are common identifying features of the Genera documentation, though,
so be careful not to confuse it with Release 8, which has its own
errors.  For example, if they run across a document called a loose
document called a "Wookbook", it is probably either a Star Wars
collectible or a Genera 8 "Workbook".  Oh, and speaking of Star Wars,
if you can't find the manuals, you can always UTSL. (Use The Source,
