        This is not the first time that one ask this question and I think
        that the man is not clear.  I suggest some changes:

        1>  The format of Recipes is shown like this:

                :0 [flags] [ : [locallockfile] ]
                <zero or more conditions (one per line)>
                <exactly one action line>

            But the explanation is _NOT_ in the same order!  The explanation
            about the lockfile arive AFTER the conditions part.  It must sit
            after the flags explanation and BEFORE conditions part, isn't?

        2>  Format of the paragraph.   The explanation about ":" is just under
            the label  "Local lockfile".    The label should be:

            Local lockfile

                :  [locallockfile]    If  you  put  a  second ....
                                      ..... .... ....
                                      ..... .... ....
                                      ..... .... ....

        ( ?>  Note that searching the string ":0:" or ":0.*:" will give )
        (     you nothing.                                              )

 
Bye,
 Udi
