    Fix reversed wording.

    See Savannah #50921.

    Thanks to Jim Avera for catching this error.

The 'info' documentation for groff version 1.22.3 says:

 -- Escape: \D'command arg ...'
    . . .
     '\D'l DX DY''
          Draw a line from the current location to the
          relative point specified by (DX,DY), where positive
          values mean down and right, respectively.

I think that should say "right and down" not "down and right".

In other words, DX is rifht-left offset, and DY is down-up offset
