*WOW*, thanks once again!

All suggestions responded to, mostly by implementing Rich's changes.

The few places I did something different are as follows:

I changed it to just /arguments/.

I didn't think your version exactly reflected my intent.  What I did 
instead was to break this into two sentences.

Your flagging of this here and above made me aware of the 
parallelism, and I modified this second use to includes the 
`backquotes` construction as well.

The first was obviously a typo.  The loss of spaces seems to happen a 
lot; probably I'm doing something stupid in BBEdit to cause this. 
Anyway, I appreciate your expert opinion on the right way to write 
this, as glancing at the book (which has a newline after MacPerl but 
no punctuation (or just a space on the spine) led me astray.  I also 
had two cases of MacPerl, Power and Ease which I also fixed.

Thanks thanks again again!
