[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I've found an inconsistency in the Introduction to eshell.texi. It
specifies as part of
a search pattern for Word Document files that are 100k or larger and six
months or older the following footnoted pattern:

ls -lt **/*.doc(Lk+50aM+5)

That nets me files bigger than 50k, not the 100k specified in the
paragraph. Here's
a quick diff supplying a correction.

 Any tool you use often deserves the time spent learning to master it.
 @footnote{For the understandably curious, here is what that command
 looks like: But don't let it fool you; once you know what's going on,
-it's easier than it looks: @code{ls -lt **/*.doc(Lk+50aM+5)}.}
