I was reading through the mechanics of Monster Movement section of the game's help files for some reason, and found a few typos. For instance, this sentence from the Goblin section.

The highest number goes to a square that contains the player and the to any other square that contains the sword.

The what? What goes to any other square? And that only one example I found. Probably best to just proofread all the help files.

That's weird, I posted about the same issue here years ago and it was confirmed fixed, but I just checked myself and the fix doesn't show.

The help content in the Github version of DROD contains the correction for this particular typo, so it has been fixed.

If you patched a 5.0 install to 5.1, the resulting installation will retain the previous, incorrect help content as the patch only updates the game executable and doesn't update the media.
