More minor changes. Center images for TeX output. (kill-new function): Remove indentation for sentence talking about momentarily skipping code. (cons & search-fwd Review): Document @code{funcall}. Document @code{re-search-forward} with existing @code{search-forward}. Reference chapter on regular expression searches. (Recursion with list): Specify a more recent version as being Emacs. (Recursion with list, Every, recursive-graph-body-print): Change `if ... progn' expression to `when'. (Recursive triangle function): For printing in small book, ensure section name is not last on bottom of preceding page. (Keep): Remove extraneous space in function definition example. (sentence-end): Specify `in English' for glyphs that end a sentence. Note that in GNU Emacs 22, the name refers to both a variable and a function.

State location of Emacs `src' directory. (Design count-words-region): Better explain two backslashes in a row. (Find a File): Fix grammar; add a `to' and write `to visit'. Change `named' to `selected'. (lengths-list-file): Remove extraneous parenthesis from reference. (lengths-list-many-files): Explain `expand-file-name' better. (Files List): Rephrase sentence regarding Lisp sources directory
