User Guide small corrections

This page was established to log subediting and other small corrections during the development of the RISC OS 5 User Guide issue 1, published in April 2018 in support of RISC OS 5.24, and available as a paperback book from ROOL here. A big thank you to everyone for their careful checking!

As of May 2019 that content is cleared (though archived by the wiki) to make space for a log of suggested corrections to the latest published User Guide, whether resulting from mistakes in the text or from changes in the software that affect the use of the system or its built in applications. Such notes will be of great value in the lead-up to a new stable release of RISC OS that merits a revised User Guide to be published.

Please preface your entry with “Chapter Number/Chapter Title/Page Number/Line Number:” of the published version, e.g. 27/Alarm/390/12:

User Guide, issue 1, April 2018

Appendix B/Built in application options/513/12:
When you configure and save Alarm choices (see page 389) they are saved in file PreDesk.Alarm. If you change the choices but do not save them, the changed values are saved in any Desktop boot file that you create and, if executed during a boot, will supersede those in PreDesk.Alarm.
