While in Google Docs you can send a document as attachment. But not 2.
Nor the e-mail functionalities that GMAil give (like bcc). Also, is
there a possibility of while in Gmail attach documents in Google Docs?
Would be nice a similar script or script that saves to the cloud, to
get from the cloud.

Why would you want to attach the document instead of sending a link to it or sharing it? Sending them as an attachment seems like a step backwards.

Agree, but I am looking more from the lens of the recipient than the sender. I send proposals, can send resumes, or invoices. The recipient wants to receive the document.

Also,:
1. you need to maintain the document always on the cloud. If you delete it the recipient does not have it. 
2. people cannot (need to experiment) forward the link to others;
3. not all the GMAIL functionality is available in share;

there are others.

The option of sending a link would be excellent too, but this is not
possible from gmail. To do so I have to get link AFTER 'publishing' it
in gdocs, COPY it, then PASTE it in the email.. and this is tedious.

Also, while I am hooked into google, many people (particularly
educational institutions in my case) are not. Sending them a link
instead of a file is perhaps a step backwards, but as yet a file is
what people expect and know (eliminating explanatory emails to
everyone you send 'link-docs' to).

So, both options would be excellent. Links to send tech-savvy folks
and files to send everyone else. But, having the option to send these
gdocs (either way) from gmail is essential if I want to move away from
WORD and use gdocs for anything other than personal use. I want to do
this, but am still waiting.

Many thanks for your thoughts
