+\fBTcl_DStringTrunc\fR changes the length of a dynamic string.

 \fBTcl_DStringFree\fR should be called when you're finished using
 the string.  It frees up any memory that was allocated for the string
 and reinitializes the string's value to an empty string.

 \fBTcl_DStringResult\fR sets the result of \fIinterp\fR to the value of
 the dynamic string given by \fIdsPtr\fR.  It does this by moving
-a pointer from \fIdsPtr\fR to \fIinterp->result\fR.
+a pointer from \fIdsPtr\fR to the interpreter's result.
 This saves the cost of allocating new memory and copying the string.
 \fBTcl_DStringResult\fR also reinitializes the dynamic string to
 an empty string.
