doc patch (paste from clipboard with Insert)

[Jon Ericson <Jonathan dot L dot Ericson at jpl dot nasa dot gov>]

The first patch suggests a .inputrc entry to allow pasting from the
clipboard using the Insert key.  I first saw this in
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-01/msg00411.html.  It also
fixes a couple of spelling errors.

The second patch suggests .inputrc entries for Insert and Delete.  The
setup*sgml files seem pretty out of data.  I also don't know where
they might be published, so I don't know how useful the patch is.
