                      3: the entire erroneous line with the 'c' command, it is
                      4: usually much faster to make small changes within
                      5: a line.  The editor allows this with the 's' (substitute)
                      6: command.  For example,

                     14: 'harry' where it should say 'george'.  Fix it using the
                     15: substitute command to change 'harry' into 'george'.  You
                     16: should use the 'p' command to print the line before and
                     17: after, checking that you did it correctly.  Then
                     18: rewrite the file and type 'ready'.
