Thanks.  At the moment chapter 5 of the Notation Reference
still has several missing/empty/incorrect sections.  When
these major issues have been corrected I shall look at the
multitude of minor corrections like the ones you mentioned.

There are several sections which are conditional on the
type of manual; this is one of them.  As I said above,
at present I'm writing missing sections, so I am not
familiar with the details of all the old stuff.  In fact
I'd not even looked at the input text for this section
yet until you mentioned it.

Not at all, but it is probably more productive for you to
concentrate on the sections of the manuals in development
which have been completed, or nearly so, ie chapters 1 and 2
of the Notation Reference and Chapters 1-5 of the Learning
Manual, simply because we already know the other sections
are full of errors which will be corrected anyway in due
course.  But we'd like to know of even minor errors in the
completed sections.
