Hallo:
"Sir" or "Captain" will suffice.
How about "Documentor Incharge of Publishing Software Help and In-print
Tomes"?
Consider, "Document and Online Publishing Engineer."
Of course, my business card says "Lead Technical Writer" which means, as
Scott Adams thoughtfully pointed out, that I get no more pay, cannot fire,
have more responsibility, a higher blame factor, and, when convenient,
others let me go first . . ..
Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarge.

P.S. Is Incharge one word or two? Does it require a lance? Never mind, I'll
check the archives for that in the grammar section.
