In section 10.1.2 "Killing by Lines," the comments about C-k killing a "blank line" caught my attention. For the novice, a distinction should be made between an apparently blank line (containing whitespace) and a truly blank line (containing only LFD). I realize this could be considered picking nits, but thought I'd mention it anyway.
