In all of the register sections of the Emacs manual, this
convention is used:
"Each register has a name that consists of a single character,
which we will denote by R" - (emacs) `Registers'
In `File Registers' there is this text:
Here's the Lisp code used to put a file name in a register:
(set-register ?R '(file . NAME))
For example,
(set-register ?z '(file . "/gd/gnu/emacs/19.0/src/ChangeLog"))
The part before the example is a mismash, a mix of
specification/template and literal example. For it to serve as a
specification (template), `?R' needs to be corrected to `R'.
For extra clarity, the accompanying text can say, e.g.:
"Here's the Lisp code used to put file NAME into register R:"
(FILE would be better than NAME, here, BTW.)
These changes will bring this node in line with the others of section
`Registers'.
