I'll try my best not to learn anything. :)  I went and followed the 
instructions in CG for creating the new branch and it worked fine, I 
think.  I got my "lastest" typo back anyway.  So I fixed that and also 
went through and made a bunch of quotation mark fixes to use the @q{} 
and @qq{} command.  I stripped trailing white spaces.  My editor says 
the line endings are unix.  I hope it turns out o.k. on the other end. 
Trevor, do you want to try applying this one?  Thanks guys,

Jon
