Hi all,

How can I programmatically generate a set of valid examples from the 
Documentation Center for a small list of Function names I am interested 
in?

Select[Names["*"], (Length[Quiet[Options[ToExpression@#, Method]]] == 1) &, 10]

>>{"Accumulate", "ActionMenu", "AlgebraicRules", "ArrayPlot", 
"BarChart", \
"BarChart3D", "BezierFunction", "Binarize", "BooleanConvert", \
"BooleanMinimize"}

e.g.


Example[{"Accumulate", "ActionMenu", "AlgebraicRules", "ArrayPlot", 
"BarChart", \
"BarChart3D", "BezierFunction", "Binarize", "BooleanConvert", \
"BooleanMinimize"}]

I want the output of Example[] to be:

{"Accumulate[{a, b, c, d}]", "ActionMenu["Print Factorials", {"4!" :> 
Print[4!], "7!" :> Print[7!],
  "10!" :> Print[10!]}]", ..., "BooleanMinimize[a =E2=87=93 b =E2=87=92 
=C2=AC a =E2=87=93 b]"}

I selected the first example from the Documentation Center for each 
function to be more specific about the desired output of Example[].

Thanks in advance ...

Cheers .... Syd
