R devel - Feb 2006 - Typos in writeLines.Rd, readLines.Rd, and data.matrix.Rd

Hello,

The diffs below are based on revision 37445 and show
some typo corrections for writeLines.Rd, readLines.Rd,
and data.matrix.Rd that I'd like to bring to the list's
attention.

Sincerely,

BTW, supplying patches inline almost always does not work as lines get 
wrapped, tabs converted ....  A text attachment should be better.
