Bug of sorts in documentation GPG 1.0.6

Hi, 

For several years I have been using PGP but as NAI has stopped 
further development I decided to look into GnuPG. I am completely 
new to GnuPG and it took me several hours to get it working because 
there is a small inaccuracy in the file readme.w32: 

It says quote 4. If you did not use the default directory 
"c:\gnupg", you     should enter a string with the directory into 
the Registry     under the key: 	 
\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNU\GnuPG\HomeDir     Please use 
forward slashes and not the backslashes when     setting filenames 
for GnuPG into the Registry. unquote 

Since my C:\ drive is FAT32 I find it unreliable for storing files 
such as those of GPG and do so on an NTFS drive. 

Today I downloaded GnuPG 1.0.6 and GPGShell for Windows v. 2.25 and 
the QDGPG plugin for Pegasus Mail. I couldn't get any of these to 
work okay until I found the page 
http://www.jumaros.de/rsoft/gpg/guide.html 

The problem is there shouldn't be a Regkey 
\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNU\GnuPG\HomeDir 
but rather 
\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNU\GnuPG 
with a string value called "HomeDir" containing as data the path to 
the GPG.exe directory. 

Moreover the mention that forward slashes must be used is 
unnecessary and un-windows like: backward slashes work fine. 

HTH
