I believe the help page for "for" has a punctuation error.  The invocation
syntax in the first line says the following:

for: for NAME [in WORDS ... ;] do COMMANDS; done

However, I believe it should read:

for: for NAME [in WORDS ...] ; do COMMANDS; done

Note the placement of the semicolon after the WORDS directive.  This change
would bring the help in-line with how 'for' is described in the bash man page.

Sorry I'm not applying a patch, but I'm not sure where these help descriptions
are stored.

Thanks so much for maintaining such an important package.

Hello, again.  Sorry about this, but I think I was mistaken about this bug
report.  I believe now that the bug is with the bash man page, and not the help
page for 'for'.  It appears that the syntax listed in 'help for' is correct, and
that listed in the bash man page is incorrect.  So sorry for the mixup.

jamie.
