Includes a thorough description of the relatively new GetArgv function.

Greatly expanded the description of the ProgressBar class, as well as updating the description to reflect recent changes to this class.

Numerous minor changes - mostly grammatical - made throughout the document.

Excellent!

What version of MacPython introduced the GetArgv() function? I'd like to add a version annotation and back-port the portions of the patch that belong in the Python 2.1.2 and 2.2.1 documentation.

Thanks for the contribution!

Attached a revised version of the patch (minor changes only, plus fix one markup error).

I don't know which version introduced GetArgv(). I think it was 2.0, but since it wasn't documented I never saw it until 2.1.

As far as the barber-pole style progress bars, that will be new in 2.2. So you may want to anotate the appropriate material with a version number there as well.

Checked in the GetArgv() docs for Python 2.1.2 (Doc/mac/libmacui.tex revision 1.16.6.1); there just wasn't time to worry about making sure I had the ProgressBar docs right (due to the 2.2 addition of the indeterminate version), so I punted on that for 2.1.2.

I still need to do the "right thing" for 2.2.* and the trunk. It shouldn't take long, but I can't right now.

Checked in as Doc/mac/libmacui.tex 1.17 and 1.16.24.1 for the 2.2 maintenance branch (sorry for missing 2.2.1!) and the trunk.
