bug#3882: 23.0.60; Typo in Calc manual?

[Eduardo Cavazos]

Hi!

This is from section 2.2 of the Calc manual:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
    This manual is divided into three major parts: the "Getting Started"
chapter you are reading now, the Calc tutorial (chapter 2), and the
Calc reference manual (the remaining chapters and appendices).
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Perhaps that should say "chapter 4" instead? I.e. the tutorial seems to 
be numered chapter 4 now.

It's probably better to remove any mention of chapter numbers in the
main text.  I've made that change; thanks for pointing out the problem.

Hi!

Thanks for the bug report.  Where did you get the manual you are looking
at?

> This is from section 2.2 of the Calc manual:

Using the CVS version of Emacs, section 2.2 of the Calc manual is the
Arithmetic Tutorial.

"About this manual", section 1.2, doesn't mention which chapter the
tutorial is.

Also, the tutorial is chapter 2 here.
Perhaps you are using a different version of the manual, or processed it
differently.  How did you get the manual?
