Some mistakes in "doc/scsh-manual.ps":
Version: scsh 0.4.4

1.) Section 9.1.7 "Process exit values":
The example at the end of the section is:
  (exit (run ...))
This does not work (the exit status is zero) if "run" returns nonzero,
because someone (scsh or the OS) takes the exit value modulo 256.
(I am using Solaris 2.4) I think the example should read:
  (exit (status:exit-val (run ...)))

2.) Section 3.2.2 "Port manipulation and standard ports", page 25:
In the description of "stdio->stdports" the last two of the three
"fdes->inport" should be "fdes->outport" I think.

Yours
