Thanks! Just checked the fixes.



One minor thing though: in the HTML manual, in the left frame, the command "swap" is mentioned twice.



Sorry to be so annoying ;-)

Thanks, not annoying at all, this is what quality assurance is about.

In that case I have some other tiny winy weeny nagging issue ;-)



When I start newLISP in Linux, I see this:

peter@Solarstriker:~$ newlisp

newLISP v.8.8.0 on linux, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info.



>

The word 'linux' is written with a small 'l'. Now don't you folks laugh at me! Indeed it's almost too unimportant to mention. Still, at other OS'es we'll see the OS name with a capital, e.g. "Solaris", "Tru64Unix", "BSD", "OSX", "Win32" and so on.



Again, I am almost ashamed to bring this up. Still I'ld really like the capital 'L' here... :-)



Cheers

Peter

Laugh? No way, I'll cheer you on! The editing I've been doing lately has really made me appreciate just how exact you must be with every little detail. Work continues . . .
