You have made great improvements to the Manual.  This
has been much needed.

While looking through it I noticed two things:

1. The formatting of the Table of Contents has a minor
    problem.  The page numbers are not fully right-aligned
    to the page width.  This has the effect that in a few cases
    the section text does not fit and so creates an additional
    line.  Right now this has the effect that the last line of
    the Table is on a new page.  I tried to find where the TOC
    page width is set, but could not find it.  If you know how
    to fix this it would improve the appearance quite a bit.
    Or, if you tell me where to look, I could try to figure it out!

2. Quite a long while ago I wrote Section 15.3.3.  At the
    time I put in short descriptions of all the Properties that
    I could figure out, but many are blank.  If you have a list
    of needed improvements, this should be on it.  And, if anyone
    is willing to do the work it would be a big improvement.

Also, for quite a while I have intended to edit all of the plots.
Currently, none of them have titles or axis labels.  All
plots which are intended for real use should have appropriate
titles and axis labels, so those in the Manual should too.  I will
try to work on this soon.

Anyhow, it is great that you are getting the Manual into much
better shape.

Michael
