[Cin] Error reports and discussions about section 2.5 of the User Manual

[Phyllis Smith]

Bulhwi,  thank you very much for the work you have done to not only find
these errors, but to write down what they are and how to fix them.  I have
fixed most of them and the corrections will be in tomorrow's next release
Manual update.

******* This is now better explained in that only when there is filenames
in the Value field from having dragged over files from Media to your new
folder, does that work.

Not yet fixed.  We have tried to fix this before but then it looks badly
formatted in the HTML version instead.

I have reworded this.  Wipe the names just means highlight them with the
mouse however your O/S lets you.    In my Fedora O/S, I just used the left
mouse button to swipe over the names I want.
