Page 73, Two occurences of ".filetool.1st" instead of ".filetool.lst", that is, the numeral one instead of the letter "el".

Page 74, another two occurences.

If I was reporting errors against DSL would you expect me to leave errs unreported just because the current version had been officially released seven months ago and I am just now experiencing the bad behaviour?

Minor grammatical and spelling errors don't lead to bad book behavior.

The book becomes a misrepresentation of the quality of the product.  (At least I hope it is a misrepresentation.)

Thank you, lucky13, for the correction.

You misspelled misrepresentation. TWICE. Look at the 'quality' of our new grammar cop.

Page 112, "... to read the extensions' info file." perhaps should be "... to read the extension's info file."

The previous verbiage refers to "an extension".  The context appears to be referencing one extension, even though the advice to read the info file applies to all extensions.
