Yes, I think it's better now.

One more thing though: in verbatim environments (screen, program-
listing etc.) you must limit the line length to 72 characters,
otherwise they run into the right margin (or even off the edge) in
the PDF output. That's not something that's "wrong" in your source,
it's just a practical limitation.

Also, if you use leading whitespace in verbatims, it's nicer if you
match the amounts. E.g. in "GSEC Commands" there are two screens
shortly after one another. The first has a 7 char left margin, the
second 5.

(Actually I'm not even sure if you should use a <screen> here. You're
not presenting this as a screen example to the user, but as an
enumeration. So an <itemizedlist> would be more logical.)

BTW, a tip: for lists, you can set 'spacing="compact"'. This is often
nicer if the items are short. Unfortunately, it only works for the PDF
output.

Alright, smartypants! :-)  Watch out for the labyrinths...

4306 is the official, corrected, 1.5.0 Windows installer release (4290
was the first official 1.5.0 on all platforms but the Win installer
had a bug). I checked an untouched 4306 package today and EPOCMAN
isn't in the security database. My guess is that some tool has added
him. Better take this EPOCMAN passage out, or people will start
worrying if they *don't* find him in their USERS table ;-)
