Hi,
Thanks a lot for your reply. That clarifies it.
I have a .PDF of the manual which I believe I obtained by using Acrobat
Distiller on a .PS file which was included in the tar.gz (I think). My
version does not have that prose. Most likely mechanism is that HTML is
different than the .PS (which is kind of a documentation bug).
I'll e-mail you the .PDF (but won't send it to the list). If you find that
prose, let me know.
Best regards, Dave.
