Summary: Man page is misleading

Initial Comment:
The manpage gives the following example:

option add *button.foreground red startupFile

claiming to change the look for all buttons. I tried a similar line:

option add *entry.font "-size 14" startupFile

On at least OS X this has no affect. Changing the option to *Entry.font" works. So the name is case sensitive and should be capital. Additionally the manpage really should describe the option syntax without referring to "usual X format", as this is not relevant on Windows and OS X.
