I finally got around to checking the Quick Reference that was included in
the manual.  It needs a few corrections.

10.1.3.1 Floats -

In the FLOAT_FUNCTION definition, the following function is missing from the
list:
   inside (SOLID_OBJECT_IDENT, VECTOR)

Also, the fourth parameter is optional for the following function:
   select (FLOAT, FLOAT, FLOAT [, FLOAT])

10.1.3.4 User Defined Functions -

Under the IDENT_LIST definition, the item note should mention a maximum of
56 instead of 20.

The FACTOR definition still includes the obsolete MOD_EXPRESSION item.  It
should be:
   EXPRESSION [MULT EXPRESSION]

In the FN_FLOAT_FUNCTION definition, I believe the following function should
be removed from the list:
   asc (STRING)

Also, the fourth parameter is optional for the following function:
   select (FLOAT, FLOAT, FLOAT [, FLOAT])

10.1.6 Camera -

In the CAMERA_MODIFIERS definition, the angle keyword and its values should
appear as follows:
   [angle F_HORIZONTAL [, F_VERTICAL]]

10.1.8.1 Finite Solid Objects -

For the height_field object, in the HF_MODIFIERS definition, the smooth
keyword cannot be followed by a BOOL.

Thank you.
