Many thanks for your tut.tex typos. I'll try to get to them next week
(along with
others people have sent in).

I didn't know that:-) Really, it's a group effort and we all help out as
best as we can.

That would be greatly appreciated. Please join sage-support (and whatever
lists you like at http://www.sagemath.org/lists.html) and post there. If your
subject line has "typos" or "documentation" or something like that
I'll definitely
read it. Even if I don't, someone will do something about it.

Thanks again!
