doc/ms.ms: Revise page 1 crash course table.
...per feedback from Raf Czlonka.
* "editor" is a command on Debian systems but may not be elsewhere.
Throw reader a hint about Vim and Emacs, of which tell may have been
heard.
* Use PDF as example output format rather than PostScript.
* The see(1) command is available on Debian systems via the "mailcap"
package, but this might not be true elsewhere. Add comment.
Also:
* Economize by using two columns, dedicating one to the shell prompt.
* Set row description in the style suggested by contemporary tbl(1).
* Bump document date.
ANNOUNCE: Add ackowledgement.
