More on txiterm.1:

- It should be better to wrap the file at 80 columns.
- Using .br to break lines manually in paragraphs is bad typography.
  Note that you can also use .PP if you mean to break it into new
  paragraph.
- Wording could be improved. (See attached patch for example.)
- Please update the date in the .TH line every time you revise the
  man page. And it should be in YYYY-MM-DD format. (See "man
  man-pages" for more info.)
- You may also remove comment lines in the man page as
  Paul previously suggested.
