X-Git-Url: https://diplodocus.org/git/nmh/commitdiff_plain/d8c4005c956790595943210509eb8daace570470

Fix forward-reference and `news.*' in mh-alias(5)'s example.

Spotted by Bob Carragher.
The example's forward reference was made a backward one, and `news.*'
explanation removed, in ff3060cefb460cce2174058eefff38b6e11ee2f1.
