That's great lie, Bruce, and almost as helpful as tell people that COVID-19 will just disappear. Abuse your volunteers often?
I reset that characterization.

When you use the GUI, it gives you a series of choices. When you make a choice, it gives you the next level of choices that area applicable at that level. Most of the choices are simple words that convey useful meaning.

As you suggest, extra core options and extra client options are completely undocumented as you really shouldn't need anything at that level.

You should be able to choose Fold/Pause/Finish without additional documentation. Status/System Info/log should be easy choices. Configfure/Preferences/Exit should make sense and the first two open to submenus that seem intuiive or are documented in-line.

What needs additional explanation?
