At the end of the example a solution to the problem where the two words occur at the end of a line is given, but this solution doesn't work: the second `w' command can't move to the next word (because there is none), thus the cursor is at the last character of the second word when `P' is executed; this results in the first word being inserted just before the last character of the second word. And that's definitely not what was intended ;-) |

This may be more serious, but the paragraph heading indicates a discussion of "Conditional Split Commands" -- plural. The paragraph only discusses the ':topleft cmd' command. (Although the ':vertical' command is alluded to in a table on page 186, it is not discussed here.) |

| Printed | Page 205 fourth paragraph (actually a paragraph seems to be missing!) |
In the array version of the 'SetTimeOfDayColors()' script, everything is going along okay until the code itself is put forth. There are suddenly two lines of code that are not explained in any way -- not even to say they are beyond the scope of this book. From a group that explain other codes in such detail as in the 'LastMod()' example on page 214, something seems to be amiss. The reader is left to wonder where 'echo' and'redraw' are. |

| Printed | Page 208 Figure 12-3 File type of new file detected AND fourth paragraph |
The '!' in '#!/bin/sh' is invisible in the grey-scale image of the figure. It is just plain missing in the discussion of this figure in the fourth paragraph. (But it is in the input instructions from paragraph 2!) |

The ``map A'' command has no righthandside in the given code. It should probably read |
