Thanks. They weren't typos; they show my past history as an IBM
mainframe programmer. :-) IBM uses the word "alphameric" for
"alphanumeric", or at least, they used to in the 1970s and 1980s. But of
course nobody else does, and even I try not to, but I have these thinkos
from time to time (I just noticed I wrote "write" instead of "right" in
a message I posted. Sigh.)

I will make the change.

[Interestingly, the word has made it into the Oxford English Dictionary
- the online version, anyway: "Contraction of ALPHA-NUMERIC" and gives a
1956 quotation to support it.]
