Hi,

Attached is a patch that fixes a few grammar errors in the ref.tex file.

PS Michael:
I must apologise. :-) Whenever I need to reference language or syntax documentation, it is second nature to fire up the Kylix 3 help. I was trying to understand packed records a bit better, but the Delphi and Kylix help was not very clear. I then viewed the FPC help - which answered all my questions. Great work! :-)

PS #2:
It's amazing how accessing relational databases to store and retrieve information makes a developer lazy. I had to access a binary data file via complex record structures and couldn't remember how to do it exactly, without first reading some documentation. Yet, when I started with Turbo Pascal years ago, it was all I did. :-)

Regards,
- Graeme -

I think most administrative desktop app. programmers are in this boat :-)
