Hi,

i found an error in the documentation about the bindat module in emacs.
It seems the colons in the spec of the cookie example are wrong:

Kind regards, Andreas

There are two examples. One happens to use colons in the spec and one
does not. Both examples seem self-consistent to me. Perhaps you were
mixing one example with the other? Otherwise, please tell us more
precisely what you think is wrong. Thanks.

You are right. The colons part in the beginning was confusing for me.
Nevermind, i'm a elisp beginner :) Thanks.
