Chapter 11, section 'Basic Revisited' (p307) in the third paragraph, talks about "the declaration of the type |sentences|" i don't see this type used or declared anywhere in the book, and i can't see if |sentences| is a convention of some sort in ocamlyacc/lex i'm a newbie biting off quite a bit in starting with ocaml{lex,yacc} but it's the job i need to do, so that's where i am. any pointers muchly appreciated. jack
