Hello,

I think there is a typo in the docstring of the `goto-line` function.
I attach a fix.

Kind regards,
Nikolaos Bezirgiannis

 This function is usually the wrong thing to use in a Lisp program.
 What you probably want instead is something like:
   (goto-char (point-min))
-  (forward-line (1- N))
+  (forward-line (N - 1))
 If at all possible, an even better solution is to use char counts
 rather than line counts."
   (declare (interactive-only forward-line))

Why did you think it was a typo?  What does (N - 1) does in Lisp?

Thanks.

My mistake. I have closed this as notabug.
