To me, when using a Mac, "Don't have any docs" means "I tossed the
documentation on the floor without looking at it because the primary
feature of a Macintosh is that the software packages are intuitive
and should not require wading through a manual, especially if the 
help facilty is worth anything at all."

I tried an Excel manual once, didn't get a solution that worked, asked
a co-worker, and haven't looked at a manual for a Macintosh application
since. I could not tell you where a single of my Macintosh manuals is.

This may sound like a bad attitude, but I have always found other Mac
users more than willing to share their knowledge of how to use a 
particular feature of an application.
