slight correction in online help under Magic \V

This sentence:

Use of "\V" means that in the pattern after it only the backslash and the
terminating character (/ or ?) has a special meaning. "very nomagic"

Should be:

Use of "\V" means that in the pattern after it only the backslash and
terminating characters have a special meaning. "very nomagic"

Example:
pattern: "The example file is /etc/passwd?"
:s!\V/etc/passwd?!/etc_passwd\!!
Becomes: "The example file is /etc_passwd!"

(Point: terminator is not always '/' or '?')
-linda
