# 
simplify: logical or character string; should the result be simplified
          to a vector, matrix or higher dimensional array if possible?
          The default, ?TRUE?, returns a vector or matrix if
          appropriate, whereas ?signify = "array"?, rather recommended
          typically, the result may be an ?array? of ?rank?
          (=?length(dim(.))?) one higher than the result of
          ?FUN(X[[i]])?.

  Should this read

   ...  whereas if 'simplify="array"', typically recommended, the result ...

  ?

  Also, ?scan says:

multi.line: logical. Only used if ?what? is a list.  If ?FALSE?, all of
          a record must appear on one line (but more than one record
          can appear on a single line).  Note that using ?fill = TRUE?
          implies that a record will terminated at the end of a line.

  I think a "be" is missing between "will" and "terminated"

Thank you, 
Ben.

I'm committing the fixes.
