>>I am going to disagree with Tamar, which I don't do very often. To me Functional Description implies a description of a system from the user's POV -- what it is supposed to do. Screens, reports, menus, updates, etc. When you document a system's classes, methods, and properties you are describing the system's technical internals. It would be of no interest to end users or managers, only to developers.

Have you looked at download#9428 ? It seems to be well-regarded - lots of positive comments.
