We all wish for better documentation for View. However, you didn't
say which docs you were aware of. Simple docs regarding VID and Draw
are available via the View Desktop in the rebol.com rebsite, plus
there's an old but quite good (if incomplete) View doc archived on
the RebolForces site at...
http://www.rebolforces.com/archive/view099users.html
Those are RT documents. Others here could tell you of third-party
docs too, I'm sure.
