May I suggest to wrap the RealTimeFineManual into a nice piece of JFGI-paper:
http://www.justfuckinggoogleit.com/search?query=oracle+documentation

For those who want to avoid the F-word in the URL, you can use this instead: http://tinyurl.com/cjwul

In those case where you don't want to give a pointer to the Fine Manuals, just change the 'query='-clause above into something else, or alternatively refer to:
http://justgoogleit.ytmnd.com/

HTH,
