You can of course not call that from the abstract class, as you can't instanciate the abstract class and then call it's documentation() mehtod. But I programmed it in a way it prints it's own documentation and the parentclass documentation, so finally you got the whole class hierachy with docs for this class and all it's (abstract) ancestor classes.
The method Documentation is also omnipresent in my stuff. Mine only has documentation between #IF .F. and #ENDIF, but I guess code in the Init() might very well call that method and that method itself might very well send documentation to a text file.
