That midrange.com wiki is devoted to all things midrange, but has a section devoted to the IDE we're all using...
http://wiki.midrange.com/index.php/WDSC
It is not up to date, as it doesn't get promoted enough on this list and Buck (the most prolific editor) is just one man. I keep forgetting about it, too, but it is where I learned all the nice LPEX tricks I use to show off to my colleagues.
If we could keep this wiki up to date then maybe the learning curve and problems caused by "difficult to find" help will be eased.

Which is...?
Where do I find the Help for Rational Developer for IBM i for RPGLE
source? Specifically, I want to read about (right click) Source -->
Show nested block in an RPGLE source member. (It shows the blocks
sometimes, and sometimes it is grayed out and sometimes nothing
happens. Which sounds to me like I need to RTFM. If I can find it.)
Most of the pieces/parts of Lpex are... self documenting. Ish. This is one of those things. Show Block Nesting (Ctrl-Shift-O) will accurately draw the lines under the proper circumstances.
1) The source must compile. Imagine temporarily unmatched IF/END blocks.
2) You must be on an IF/END line.
3) You must NOT have source selected.
There are probably more things, but these are what spring immediately to mind. There isn't documentation on any of this that I know of beyond the generic
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v7r1m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Frzasc%2Fsc09250722.htm.
Which can also be reached via Help, Help Contents.
I'd dearly love to be able to update the Developerworks wiki but that seems beyond my reach. On the other hand, maybe we could put together our own Wiki pages to document Lpex. How about this:
