>Um... wouldn't leiding be akin to "leading"? IOW, handleiding sounds to me more like "handleading", i.e. "user's guide".
Very good! leiden = to lead, een leiding = a lead, een leider = a leader
But now I'm suddenly wondering what 'hand' is doing here.
>Not that there's much difference between user's manual and guide; the purpose of the first is to be at hand, for reference, while the other is a textbook from which to learn how to use. In practice, it's most often the same book(let), with long descriptions of what you can already see onscreen, and very little of "how-to" ;).
