Sounds OK.

But you have used the capitalized ANSWER before, so it shall be
consistent. I know that this is because of @var{answer}, but this is
what it looks like.

Yep. However, the references for 'ff' and 'gf' are wrong. Instead of
@pxref{Dired and Find, , , elisp, The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual} it
must be @pxref{Dired and Find, , , emacs, The Emacs Editor}
