Thanks, that solved that problem. I get a lot farther now, but it still
stalls out. There are a bunch of "! Undefined control sequence." errors
while chugging on guide_en.toc. I can send the guide_en.log if
interested.

For the text itself, it's looking good! I have a few comments. I'm using
snap 20060412 with mostly default keybindings, etc.
* Section 4.1, last paragraph - the title of the focused window is _not_
shown in the bar. Only the list of tags with current view highlighted
plus whatever prints out of your status command.
* Section 4.4, fourth paragraph - MOD-Shift-Space toggles the focused
window between floating and column modes. MOD-Space toggles your focus
between floating and column.
* It might be good to add a sub-section to 3.Terminology that introduces
the default directional keys, h, j, k, l.
* Section 4.5 - number can be one of the numbers 0 to 9 rather than 1 to
9.
* Section 5.4 - the environment variable is WMII_ADDRESS rather than
WMIIR_ADDRESS.
* Section 6.6 - To assign more than one tag, you have to separate the
tags with a "+" rather than a " ".
* Maybe there should be a sentance in Section 7.The End about how to
quit wmii.

Finally think it would really help new adopters to have an appendix at
the end that lists the default keybindings. Here's what I have (again,
I'm using snap 20060412):

# Moving Focus
Alt-h - move focus to prev column
Alt-l - move focus to next column
Alt-j - move focus to next client in column
Alt-k - move focus to prev client in column
Alt-space - toggle to/from floating column 0
Alt-[0-9] - select tag/view [0-9]

# Moving Clients
Alt-Control-h - swap client with last client of prev column
Alt-Control-l - swap client with last client of next column
Alt-Control-j - swap client down in the column
Alt-Control-k - swap client up in the column
Alt-Shift-h - send client to prev column
Alt-Shift-l - send client to next column
Alt-Shift-space - send client to/from floating column 0
Alt-Shift-[0-9] - send client to tag/view [0-9]

# Layouts
Alt-d - select default layout
Alt-s - select stacked layout
Alt-m - select max layout

# Menu Bar Functions
Alt-a - choose action from menu bar
Alt-p - choose program from menu bar
Alt-t - choose view from menu bar
Alt-Shift-t - assign tag(s) to client from menu bar

# Clients & Applications

Alt-Shift-c - kill client
