That's one good reason. But by that reasoning we could remove at least half of the Help file. ;-)

Don't feel bad. I can't tell you how many times I read it before noticing. As Al has observed, it has been modified several times over the years without recognizing the error. Of course my excuse is no one was telling me that something was wrong. ;-) I think Slobodan has it right, the mind sees what it expects to see, not what is really there. (I wonder how many have read it and not seen anything wrong). ;-)

But contrary to Al's conjecture that it was a cut-and-paste slip-up, I found no evidence that I did so. I wrote the damn thing that way! What was I thinking? (Please, that's just a rhetorical question). ;-) I suspect I had just finished working on another section that used the erroneous words.

Or finding more of them. ;-)
