typical published manuals, so people can more easily see what they're

used instead. The obsolete macros will print a warning on standard

"blank" navigation icons, use ALT="" instead of ALT="blank"; also add
ALIGN=CENTER for the table, to get a slightly better affect in the

when browsing the HTML).
