a few Guidebook tweaks
I started out updating Guidebook.mn to use \(oq and \(cq for single quotes but ended up including some new text. I've separated that part out (there are a few instances of altered quoting in the midst of it--the separation wasn't 100%) to commit separately. Add verbiage to "choosing race" and several commands: f, s, S, t, w, and ^X. Change `E-' and `w-' to use minus sign instead of hyphen. The TeX edition uses \tt font for those which has the same effect of making those dashes be more prominent. Fix typo/thinko in `IX': Guidebook.mn and Guidebook.txt said that displayed inventory items whose bless/curse state is "known". Guidebook.tex had it right, "unknown".
