300 the usage in the declarations.
302 2002-10-26 Stephen Compall <rushing@sigecom.net>
304 * scheme-data.texi: Addition and change of many Texinfo tags,

499 from gh.texi to data-rep.texi. Both files already had similar

504 added for this. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

977 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
