Many changes here go from correct grammar to less correct
formulations. I believe that following changes should not be
implemented. I made a few alternate suggestions. I didn't check for
tab characters. I would hope that the file would be filtered through

attempt to increase clarity.

I think that this might be better as "It must be specified relative to
the user's home directory"

This might be better as "an unknown editor from which they can't exit"
The following line has a typo

This should be "programs"

This should be "have to be upload protocol programs."
More lines that should not be changed:
