number_pad:3,4,-1 (trunk only)

I left out the Guidebook updates when I checked in the number_pad
changes yesterday.  I no longer have any way to preview either format but
at least LaTeX doesn't give any warnings about the TeX one.  I suspect that
the list of valid settings is going to be too wide; it will likely need to
become an actual item list or table to make the descriptions wrap sensibly.

     doc/Guidebook.txt hasn't been updated in a long time.  Can someone
generate an up-to-date copy and check it in?
