There were some more broken links found. The reasons for these being broken is not in the source, but in the fix-urls.sh script. Attached patch fixes all of these. Below is a listing of pages, sentences with faulty links, and the line of the patch that fixes it. The problem is usually that there is no command to replace the given ghelp:, and sometimes another command replaces the first part of the ghelp.
