Well, that is a little bit strange, actually.  Going to the command 
window and typing "doc" results in 10 error messages, each of which says 
"copya is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable 
program, or batch file."  Since this is not the usual behavior for 
merely typing an incorrect command, I went to another computer and typed 
"doc" and it just said (once) that "doc is not recognized . . .etc."  
 From this, I surmise that perhaps install_picprg put a doc program on 
my system, but that it perhaps has a problem.  Of course it is trivial 
to get around, since all the .txt files are in c:\embed\doc, but 
nevertheless . . .

I do not doubt that, which does not make my comment any less true.  :-)  
If and when Wouter gets the new version of the Wispxxx out, his 
documentation may have the same problem.  We shall see.
