The biggie: changed the funcdesc environments used for opcode descriptions
...
to use the opcodedesc environment.
Changed a \code{} to a \file{} near the start where a file is referenced.
Fixed a typo: "on" --> "one" in ROT_THREE description.
Wherever opcodes were referenced by name, use \code{OPCODE_NAME}; usage was
inconsistent. Ideally, another macro would be defined since these don't
represent code a programmer would type, but that's minor even for me. It'll
probably get converted automatically in the SGML conversion project. Whether
that matters or not isn't relevant at this point.

Slip of the keyboard (f__ should be __). Dunno why I had a totally
