Also, replace    which
      with       that
in the paragraph below: 

> While some builtin commands may exist in more than one shell, their 
> operation may be different under each shell which supports them.  
> Below is a table which lists shell builtin commands, the standard 
> shells that support them and whether they exist as standalone utilities.

This might take a while, but I have carefully considered the scope and entirely rewritten this page, rendering redundant all the many ways that it currently tells the user that they need to read the manual on the shell they're using for details on its operation.
