Many things are missing from the manual or many things are incompletely explained. Think about when I asked something. Think of Darwins response. That part is not mentioned in the manual. Perhaps the author of the handbook assumes knowledge about the readers that the readers do not possess.
We also came to this knowledge only through some experimentation.
Whenever an update was made to the timetable mode which included new or altered commands, I included a .pdf here at ET which was intended as the manual for those commands.
That information should indeed have found its way into the actual OR manual. But the OR manual is based on a "sphinx" environment, and for some obscure, unclear but sadly also unsolvable reason, I never got that "sphinx" environment working on my development system. It just always crashed, and that was it. So I could never actually properly update the manual. Some bits and pieces somehow did find its way into the manual, but many things did not. Somewhere along the line I gave up on this.
Attached is my own 'private' timetable manual. It covers all commands. Please note that some commands are missing from this manual, in particular some 'old' commands like runround. In my view, these commands have become obsolete, having been replaced with the later $attach, $detach and $transfer commands. The program still supports these old commands for backward compatibility, but these should not be used in any new timetables. Some, though, may have different opinions on this.
