Is the attached of any use? I started with 3.1.4. I've fixed a couple of 
typos as well as hopefully improving the explanations about backup files 
and reshapes, and added a couple of your remarks about metadata types 
from another thread. Some of the text was cribbed from your blog about 
reshaping.
