    On several pages in the PDF manual on sourceforge, the commands to be entered run off the right side of the page. Examples include:

    Page 9, Compiling X11-Basic from its sources inder Unix like systems.

      Step #2 sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libreadline6-dev 
      liblappack-dev libgm
    
         The line abruptly ends here, though I know there should be 
         more on this line I can't guess what else it should contain.
    

    Page 25, Above the line: 2.6 The X11-Basic compiler manager xbc.

      gcc 11.c -lm -lX11 -lx11basic -lasound -lreadline -lgmp 
      -llapack -o a.
    
        The line abruptly ends here.  It also extends beyond the 
        gray box that encapsulates the commands in this section.
    

    There are numerous other examples including two on page 26 along with 3 additional lines that simply extend beyond the end of the right margin.

    If the original source for your document is LaTeX I could reformat the problem areas for you. Otherwise I would be willing to submit a list of the pages that could benefit from page layout formatting.

    If you would like assistance feel free to email me.

    Hi Roger,
    yes, the documentation source is in LaTeX. The gitlab repository should contain the sources. You are welcome to send improvements.
