Emacs Manual: G.5 Keyboard Usage on MS-Windows

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

The following paragraph appears at the end of this manual section:

- - -

  The variable `w32-recognize-altgr' controls whether the right <Alt>
and left <Ctrl> keys are recognized as the <AltGr> key.  The default is
`t', which means these keys produce `AltGr'; setting them to `nil'
causes these keys to be interpreted normally (as the respective
modifiers).

- - -

This does not appear to be correct for my system, in that both my left and right Control keys function as Control keys by default, as I would wish. The reference here to a <Ctrl> key seems out of place. It appears to be (and I hope is) an error in both this manual page and the help for the variable concerned. On my system, I have one key labelled AltGr, which is to the right of the space bar, and functions as an AltGr key within Emacs. I have one Alt key, which is to the left of the space bar, and functions as a Meta key within Emacs.
