Re: rcirc manual

Thanks for the feedback on the manual, Eli.

As for the em dash suggestion: Is there a convention or tradition for
the GNU manuals to prefer em dashes?  I'm reading The Elements of
Typographical Style by Robert Bringhurst, at the moment.  On p 80 he
says: "The em dash is the nineteenth-century standard, still
prescribed in many editorial style books, but the em dash is too long
for use with the best text faces.  [...] Used as a phrase marker --
thus -- the en dash is set with a normal word space either side."  I
think in European typography in general, em dashes are rarely used.
