Fixed some wording, and responded to clahey's suggestions-- notably, commented out the "add to master list" category feature. * C/usage-calendar.sgml: Spellcheck. Fixed wording, event overlap description. * C/evolution-guide.sgml: Spellcheck. Commented out Notes entities. * C/usage-notes.sgml: Spellchecked, then decided to comment out this file/chapter and all references to it, since it's unlikely to be implemented any time soon. * C/config-setupassist.sgml: Spellcheck. Other minor updates. May need more work in the near future. * C/usage-sync.sgml: Now it's really short. And spelled correctly. 2000-10-03 Aaron Weber * C/config-prefs.sgml: Mostly spelling. Still needs major alteration. * C/menuref.sgml: s/Appintment/Appointment, fixed small errors, ran spellcheck.
