Yes, you're right, thanks.  I've been updating the Fortran 90 Users
Guide (and the other Users Guides) for version 3.5 and had caught one
of these, but not the other.  The new Fortran 90 User's Guide will
finally have an index, too.  I hope to have it available in the next
week or two.  If you see any other problems with the Users Guides,
please let me know.  This would be a great time to get in fixes ...
