In my opinion, using page indexes, versus using real page numbers, is fine. The Wiki documentation could be more clear that 
indexes are used.

More importantly though, it appears that FirstVisiblePage & LastVisiblePage (and their aliases) and the ShowPage display do not 
correctly represent the actual state of the view. As I reported yesterday:

"Document.Goto's integer parameter is obviously to be a page's index. If I use that method to go to the page at index 5, the 
view displays visual Page 6 of the document as it should. However, the ShowPage display says that the view is on page 5 even 
though only Page 6 is visible.

Also while still on the page at index 5, the value of FirstVisibleDocument is 4 while the value of LastVisibleDocument is 6. 
Both are incorrect."

If real page 6 (at index 5) is only partially visible, ie. not the entire page, then both FirstVisiblePage & LastVisiblePage 
should be 5. Shouldn't they?
