*What were you trying to do?
man scribe
*What's wrong:
There are a couple of "non-optimal" statements, and a couple of
formatting oddities.
*What should have happened:
DESCRIPTION
scribe is a sophisticated text formatting program. In addi-
tion to
That "scribe" that starts the sentence isn't capitalized, but later in
the paragraph the word "Scribe" is capitalized when it starts a
sentence.
Scribe can produce output files for a variety of devices
such as the Information Systems Xerox 9700 laser printer and
SIPB Apple Laser Writer.
Maybe we might want to mention that it can print on Athena printers,
too.

the Laser Writer from Project
Scribe User Manual, by Brian K. Reid and Janet H. Walker,
Third Edition, 1980, Unilogic, Ltd.
These should be updated to reflect the current versions of the
documentation. Also, the "Athena" is missing from the titles of the
SIPB documents.
Also, it should probably mention which version of Scribe you get when
you type "scribe"

The scribe man page :-)
Thanks!
