Since this book was only typeset in fixed width, single-font, they used capitalization and quotes (") to show what was commands, files and just text. With today's formatting, this is not necessary, so everywhere capitalization was used to show a command the <command> element is now used instead, and everywhere a file is mentioned the <filename> element is used.
