Some of those are bugs, some not.

> 
>  "the fake function key 'menu-bar'"
> 
> Not `<menu-bar>'.  And not `<MENU-BAR>'.

Fixed.

>  "To add an item to the menu bar, invent a fake function key of your
>   own (let's call it KEY), and make a binding for the key sequence
>   '[menu-bar KEY]'."
> 
> Not `<KEY>'.  (And KEY is a placeholder here.)

Exactly, and so it shouldn't be marked up as a key.

>  "Here, 'edit' is the fake function key"

I fixed this in a different way.

>  "a list of fake function keys.... The default value
>   is '(help-menu)'"
> 
> Not `(<help-menu>)'.  And not `<HELP-MENU>'.

Here help-menu is a symbol in a list, so the markup is correct.

> And in node `Tool Bar':
> 
>  "fake function key called 'tool-bar'"
> 
> Not `(<tool-bar>)'.  And not `<TOOL-BAR>'.

Fixed.

That place uses the correct markup.

Thanks.
