	(emacs) Dired Enter: incorrect mention of "numeric" prefix arg
Date: Fri, 3 Sep 2010 17:33:28 -0700

emacs -Q
 
C-h r
 
i dired RET
 
The Info node (`Dired Enter') says this:
 
"If you use a numeric prefix argument with the `dired' command, you can
specify the `ls' switches with the minibuffer before you enter the
directory specification."
 
The word "numeric" should be removed: any prefix arg has this effect.
Oddly enough, this doc bug is at least as old as Emacs  20.
