        [page-number]: serious technical mistake
        {page-number}: minor technical mistake
        <page-number>: important language/formatting problem
        (page-number): language change or minor formatting problem
        ?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification

	or even an Internet Explorer window (5.0 and later); while..."


{23} Figure 1-16. The text used to say:

	(Cmd)-left arrow (to close)."

	the CD-ROM door (on Mac models that have a door) opens the drawer--
	when it's empty."

It now says:
