	Thanks for pointing to the right paragraph.  I think I glossed over
it because I didn't see the same notation in the definition, as used in
the successive text. 

	There are some notational conventions used in the documentation
that I feel could use some improvement, but I know, in some cases, that
the underlying source is based on DocBook, and I don't know if some of
those conventions are enforced by DB, or can be adjusted with a style
sheet.  But until I think or come up with a better concrete solution,
I'll keep my mouth shut and just thank you for pointing me at the 
correct section...:-)
