Emacs Manual: Editing Format Information

[Devon]

In the Fourteenth edition of the `GNU Emacs Manual',
updated for Emacs version 21.1.

You describe no way to add properties using the keyboard!
You promise one way with the keyboard and one with the mouse
but deliver two ways that both require the mouse.  For shame!

I have many other comments about this new release

Thank you very much, by the way, for face support on character consoles,

colors, bold, underline, etc. before.

                Cheers
