That's the main reason why I hesitated to put it in when it was first
suggested (think it was by Tom). But since then it came up a few times, so

I thank you for the information provided, including the alternative macro.
I agree that the documentation in the windows version does not clearly
indicate that the sgn() function is part of math.inc . The function and
the include file's name are listed on separate pages of the html
documentation. You would have to have the "7.10.1" memorized as being in
the section on the include files to have picked it up.
I am technically not a newbie, nor ignorant of the documentation. I do
think that the suggestion of the index headings/titles be printed on the
pages that are a part of them makes good sense and should be considered as a
desirable improvement.
Thanks again for your assistance.

As a general comment, not including a required file seems to be a common
"gotcha", and not just for new users.
Some kind of mention of this in the VFAQ might be a good idea. The problem is,
IMHO, that these things look like part of the SDL.
