Change "Instead, type d to flag a file for Deletion." to "Type `d' to flag a file for Deletion." The "Instead," refers to nothing at all here - instead of what? 2. Change "SPC and DEL can be used" to "Use `SPC' and `DEL'" (active voice; construction parallel to the other statements.) 3. Change "a single or the marked files" to "a single file or the marked files", or better yet to "the file at point or the marked files". 4. Put all keys in single quotes for clarity: change "g" to "`g'" etc. 5. Change "Letters no longer insert themselvs" to "The buffer is read-only". (It's not just letters, but other chars also - no char inserts itself. And there is no "no longer" here - it's not about time at all.) 6. There is no need to say "You can move using the usual cursor motion commands." Remove this. 7. Change "or all files of a subdirectory" to "or all files of an inserted subdirectory". 8. Change "to flag a file for Deletion" to "to flag a file `D' for deletion", to be clearer. (Yes, flagging implies `D', but it helps to reinforce the meaning.) 9. Change "and unflag" to "and unflag for deletion", to be clearer. 10. Change "to execute the deletions requested" to "to delete (eXecute) the files flagged `D'".
