Hi Branden.

Sometimes I scan a document and enter proof reading mode.  I submit this
small patch to remove a misplaced 'the':

Also, in section 5.8 the sentence introducing boxed keeps seems awkward
to me:

        A keep have a frame drawn around it; this is called a boxed
        keep.

Perhaps a more simple introduction would be:

        A boxed keep has a frame drawn around it.

Too simple?

Thanks to Larry and you for nice introduction to ms.
