Correct again.

The file was autogenerated originally; but, it is now hand-edited.
A lot of the typos came from the man-page-to-info-file conversion.
You are the only person other than me that has ever tried the forms,
so up until now, it hasn't been an issue.
 
I'm happy to take small patches, but, GNU rules say that I can't take
extensive patches (more than 10 lines) from anyone that isn't part of GNU,
for legal reasons.
 
I'll definitly commit the changes you noticed this week.

Thanks,
 
Mike
