Spellcheck. Fixed some wording, and responded to clahey's suggestions--

Browse Source 
2000-10-04  Aaron Weber  <aaron@helixcode.com>

	* C/usage-contact.sgml: Spellcheck. Fixed some wording, and
	responded to clahey's suggestions-- notably, commented out the
	"add to master list" category feature.

	* C/usage-calendar.sgml: Spellcheck. Fixed wording, event overlap
        description.

	* C/evolution-guide.sgml: Spellcheck. Commented out Notes
	entities.

	* C/usage-notes.sgml: Spellchecked, then decided to comment out
	this file/chapter and all references to it, since it's unlikely to
	be implemented any time soon.

	* C/config-setupassist.sgml: Spellcheck. Other minor updates. May
	  need more work in the near future.

	* C/usage-sync.sgml: Now it's really short. And spelled correctly.

2000-10-03  Aaron Weber  <aaron@helixcode.com>

	* C/config-prefs.sgml: Mostly spelling. Still needs major
	alteration.

	* C/menuref.sgml: s/Appintment/Appointment, fixed small errors,
	ran spellcheck. Still needs lots of work, since many menus have
	changed.

	* C/apx-gloss.sgml: Added Virus, Protocol, fixed vFolder,
	spellchecked.
