(I sent e-mail about this last week, but I see it didn't get through. I'll try again, but my ISP changed my e-address today, so...) Apparently, niether "ficl" or "FICL" is correct. According to "http://ficl.sourceforge.net/", it's a capitalized name derived from "Forth Inspired Command Language", so it really should be "Ficl", which is confirmed by observing that casing throughout the first page of a google search. It seems that "Ficl" should be considered to be the name of a "library", but it not clear to me what macro should be used on it. (Certainly not the "library name" macro. :) Since I usually read man pages is plain text (withing Xemacs), I'd be happing if the names of most things were surrounded by double quotes like "Ficl", but I see lots of names in bold or italics or UPPERCASE or underlined or `ugly quotes'. As if people knew the distinctions and found them useful. So "ficl" and "FICL" both should be changed in the "loader" manpage.
