Has the ExtendScript documentation been updated for FrameMaker 11?

Question

I have Technical Communicator Suite 4, and would like to write a simple script to automate the create of HTML Help for a FrameMaker book file.to
(i.e. to automate the process of me opening the book file, and selecting File > Publish)
The Publish command is new for TCS4 / FM11, however, so I don't think it's documented in the FM10 material...
Within my script, I guess I need to know how to select values for the 4 drop-down fields in the Publish dialog? (i.e. Output type, source file, and path to the robohelp templates)

feline,
The scripting capabilities of FM are remarkable. It's possible that that you've found an instance where something is not easily done (or perhaps not possible), but I can assure you that just about anything else is possible. So, I'd hate for you to get a bad taste about FM scripting just due to this one issue.
Jang,
What client are you trying to invoke? Is it the Structure Generator on a single document? The documentation for structuring a single document has been wrong forever, so it will not work as currently advertised. If you have the right syntax, though, it works great. Here's an FDK code snippet for a document conversion that should show what you need, in case this was your issue:
F_Sprintf(tempUChar, "INPUTDOCID %d", docId);
F_ApiCallClient("Structure Generator", (StringT)tempUChar);
F_Sprintf(tempUChar, "RULEDOCID %d", convTableId);
F_ApiCallClient("Structure Generator", (StringT)tempUChar);
F_Sprintf(tempUChar, "OUTPUTDOCNAME %s", tempPath);
F_ApiCallClient("Structure Generator", (StringT)tempUChar);
F_ApiCallClient("Structure Generator", "StructureDoc");
I believe the error in the manual is that is says to call "GenerateDoc" at the end, which is wrong and does nothing.
I remember in the past working with someone trying to structure a book and I'm not sure if we ever got that working. Maybe that was you... sorry if I forgot
