Well, seeing as letters are merely graphical interpretations of
language building blocks anyway, I vote for "RTFM" in big red letters
on the packaging. ;-)
Else why not use the adopted Help symbol (book with '?' on it) or
perhaps a pictograph illustrating the interaction between product and
documentation?
Man, I'm swarming with ideas. Too bad I'm in the middle of publishing
right now. If I have time I'll create a few pics and post the URL
where you all can see them (perhaps even a voting form? -- Bill you're
too ambitious for your busy lifestyle).
