A lot of the novices coming in to the Paladins use Nexus and have no idea how to do the basic things like triggers, highlights, use variables. The Nexus documentation looks like the old achaea java client documentation: fine for programmers, but lacking in actual hand-holding examples showing what to do and what the effects are.
I did up something basic a while ago: http://www.cacheboy.net/achaea/java/ - which, albeit craptabulous and unfinished, covered enough about writing triggers, highlights, variables and aliases for the monk novices in my guild to actually start using the client. I used screenshots which showed the steps to take along the way.
What do people think? Do y'all think the Nexus documentation should be better? How could it be better? I'd appreciate some suggestions to take to the IRE people in the hope of making the client a bit easier for newbies.

First step, write down the functions it DOES NOT HAVE. >> (like ; on zMUD, a line seperation thing) is one it's missing. There's more but I need to do something in a minute so I'll post back later.
