Typos in chapter 6 of the zsh guide



Hello,

When I was reading http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Guide/zshguide06.html, I noticed a misspelling: "parsiing".  I don't know the Right Way to report the typo to zsh, but the SourceForge project suggests I should email a patch to this alias.  I'm also new to git, but I ran an xemacs ispell over c6.yo and here's the result of "git diff":
