Then we'll have to disagree <grin>.

I write task based documentation a fair bit. I find it more useful than
reference documentation in many situations. But, know your audience and,
horses for courses.

See, you can't write procedures with purpose in mind, because which
layer of purpose do you mean? If the effect of clicking ABC is to
display the XYZ dialog box, then your greater "purpose" or "goal"
doesn't matter as long as it opens. I don't document intentions, but
tool behavior.<snip>
