wrong pointer.

  * Purpose:
  *
- *	 Returns string after replacing all occurences of from with
- *	 the corresponding character in to. TRANSLATE will not remove
- *	  characters.
- *	 Modified to work with strings rather than single character
- *	  for the substitution arguments.
- *	 Modifications from Edwin Ramirez <ramirez@doc.mssm.edu>.
+ *	 Returns string after replacing all occurrences of characters in from
+ *	 with the corresponding character in to.  If from is longer than to,
+ *	 occurrences of the extra characters in from are deleted.
+ *	 Improved by Edwin Ramirez <ramirez@doc.mssm.edu>.
