when describing the 'op' symbols, specifically the '-' option; the following line "creation mask is clear, is cleared. Otherwise, the mode bits" should be changed to "creation mask is set, is cleared. Otherwise, the mode bits" the minus '-' clears bits which are set so the documentation needs to be corrected. the more command says this line is at byte 6382.
Brian is sitting next to me at SCALE 17x. I'll fix this real quick.
