In his reply to this message, Mark Rivers mentioned web documentation
of the motor record.  Here's where it is:

Ron Sluiter's motor-support web page, which contains the definitive and
up-to-date documentation of the motor record:
http://www.aps.anl.gov/upd/people/sluiter/epics/modules/mechanism/motor/index.ht

User docs for the motor record, an annotated image of the motor
record's medm display (slightly out of date):
