A key feature of Froms API in 5.x+ (multistep forms) is not documented at all as far as I can see- unfortunately I'm not really familiar enough with the #multistep feature to be able to write this. Can someone add info to the Quickstart guide and especially the Forms API reference? I'd be willing to help if someone can point me to some good working code examples.

Ok, a little searching turned up this handbook page: http://drupal.org/node/101707

sheould this be linked to from the Froms API reference, or partially replicated there?

Changed the component to reflect the new component categorization. See http://drupal.org/node/301443.

The "#multistep" attribute was dropped in Drupal 6 and is not present in Drupal 7 HEAD.

Is this a request for documentation on how to create multistep forms in Drupal 6+ or a request for documentation of "#multistep" in Drupal 5?

The change is documented here: http://drupal.org/node/144132#multistep

Another Drupal 6 mini-example can be found here: http://drupal.org/node/262422, scroll down to sample 10. (Personally I prefer the storage option)

The way to do this in 6.x vs. 5.x needs to be better documented - even experienced devs (won't name names here) are tripped up by trying to convert multistep forms to 6.x

Whatever this is, it's not critical and it's not D7

Some docs exist here: http://drupal.org/node/470834 which work for HEAD and I don't think it's realistic to keep an issue open for documenting old versions, given the state of FAPI docs for the current version.
