spelled docs for widgets: 'menu' and 'text'
see attached file 'text_menu_n.patch'

additional comments:

text.n

pay attention to the submodifier sentence in the
INDICES chapter of the file
even if the variant in the patch is not accepted
the sentence in any way requires a revision (Bold-tag,
non-existent? and thus confusing submodifier 'nothing',
etc.)

The 'which ...' clause appears 45 times in the file
Could it be in some cases simplified?
Splitted onto separate sentences or something else
____________________________

menu.n

"Note that in Tcl 8.0 on Macintosh and Windows, all
commands ?in a menu systems? are executed before any
are posted."
does that mean 'in systems of a menu', or 'in menu
systems', or 'in a menu system'

does 'labelled' (three times in file menu.n) is acceptable
instead of 'labeled'
is this some type of 'accent'

    Fixed in HEAD.

    Your first comments on menu.n are right, and I can't see any
    occurrences of the word 'labelled' in either variant.

    In text.n, the INDICES section has been reworked for
    formatting (thanks for spotting this!) and I'm leaving the
    profusion of 'which' clauses alone on the grounds that
    fixing them is a lot of work for tiny gain. Many of them
    are also difficult to rewrite and retain the overall meaning
    of the sentence.
