	Well I don't know about fractint's explicit documentation for the 
L-system fractals, but I do know that L-systems in general were well explored
and developed with the LOGO language.  It was an interpeter designed to
explore such fractal geometry as hilbert and peano curves.  A good book on
this type of mathematics is "Turtle Geometry" by Harald Abelson & Andrea
DiSessa.  It develops from simple examples and leads to very complicated
explorations in this novel area of geometry.  Fractint's l-systems are
faster and their descriptive syntax is more concise but the fundamentals
are the same.
