1358 first time 'round (like me). Make graphical indicators samples,
1359 not code. Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
1360 symbols. Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind
1361 readers not to forget the difference.

1640 * preface.texi: Minor punctuation mistakes. Hyphens should link
1641 compound adjectives. Commas should be placed after a "therefore"
1642 that begins a sentence. Commas should not be used to separate a

2518 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
2519 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
2520 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
2521 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how

2575 * scheme-io.texi (Writing): Add entry for `display'.
2576 Include in R5RS Index. Thanks to Alex Schroeder for suggestion.
2578 2001-09-26 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

2619 The change log for files in this directory continues backwards
2620 from 2001-08-27 in ../ChangeLog, as all the Guile documentation
2621 prior to this date was contained in a single directory.
