Re: Grammatical fixes in gawk manual v.3.1.8

Thanks to the advice of Ralf and Karl here is a resubmission of the
previously posted patch.

The first two hunks change @ref to @xref so that `See' appears in the
output which makes the sentences start correctly.

The second hunk is the insertion of a missing word.

Hope this is some help.
