Subject: [PATCH] User manual update: Replan, Copy and Paste components.
This patch adds detail to the sections that deal with the modification of existing dive plans as well as for the copy and paste of dive information from one dive into other dives. The last two paragraphs of the text on the dive planner were swopped around to be more logical in sequence. Signed-off-by: willem ferguson <willemfergu...@zoology.up.ac.za> Kind regards, willem
