Printable Documentation

[David Muir]

A4 would be a bit more international friendly...

Printable docs is a great idea. Something like the SVN book would be 
great. I find it really frustrating having to constantly flip between 
the user reference and the user guide. Especially when the guide has 
info about commands that is missing in the reference... But that's a 
gripe for another day...
