I just need to be sure. Certain it must be in the manual, but I cannot find it. Put “draft” or “draft page” into the manual search box – nada. So, would someone confirm or deny this for me?

BTW, I have never been able to find anything with the RW manual search engine. I do better with Google. But it gives me pages that I then cannot find what I want on.

Correct. Pages set to draft do not publish.  
But remember; if you have published a page and then set it to draft, the files and page will remain on the server (although, RW will amend links so you cannot see the page)

Good thing to remember. And thanks. I think that “draft” setting must be what used to be called “enable”.
