Hi,

>From the Emacs tutorial for Emacs21 --

>> Move the cursor to the beginning of a line and type <Delete>.  This
   merges that line with the previous line.

This is incorrect, it will actually delete the character underneith the 
point.  Correct wording should either be

>> Move the cursor to the end of a line and type <Delete>.  This merges that 
line with the next one.

Or

>> Move the cursor to the beginning of a line and type <Backspace>.  This 
merges that line with the previous line.

Hope that is helpfull, and thanks for the great tutorial!
