User Manual: Changes to Print Dive and Print Dive Plan
This patch performs the following to the user manual:
1) Remove text refering to cursor position indications on the depth
and time axes of the dive profile panel (not present in V4.2).
2) Revise dialogue and image for the printing of a dive log, taking
into account the new feature for 1 dive/page.
3) Added a paragraph to the text dealing with printing of dive plans,
detailing the approach to print dive plans after they have been saved
in the Dive List. This is done at the end of the text dealing
with the dive planner.
