POSITIVE TRAVEL DISTANCEThis is the distance the Axis travels from the Origin to the positive travel distance or the total travel minus the negative travel distance. You would set this to zero if the origin is positioned at the positive limit. The will always be zero or a positive number.
Probably should be:POSITIVE TRAVEL DISTANCEThis is the distance the Axis travels from the Origin to the positive travel distance or the total travel minus the negative travel distance.

Regarding typos in the documentation, where's the best place to report them? Or should I even bother for such minor stuff?

A couple of options:
You could create an issue on GitHub.
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/issues
You could create a GitHub account and directly edit the file by clicking the edit icon (a pencil) at the top of the text, this will create a pull request and a developer will then check the changes before committing.
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master.../help-axisconfig.txt

Perfect. Thanks for the education.
I'll see about the GitHub account to try to be more proactive. I hate to bother busy folks with such minor issues.

I found another typo that I was going to open a pull request for, but I can't figure out how to get to the text on GitHub to initiate the request.
Can someone point me to some info on how to navigate GitHub LinuxCNC please.
The text is in section 2. Create or Edit...
If you made any changes to the main hal or ini files Pncconf will over write those files...

Yes, but moderator phillc54 provided a link that took me right to where I needed to be to create the pull request, which is only that one section of the document. I went back through the
directory tree a bit
but couldn't find the section mentioned above. Create or edit.
I looked at some info on how to create pull requests on the 'net but they seemed really involved... cloning, downloading, editing, uploading, etc. Seemed crazy complicated just to remove an extra space between two words.

So you only didn't find the file?
Here it is: github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/2.9/do.../config/pncconf.adoc

Correct. Thanks!
How do I go about finding things like this on my own on GitHub? Is there a guide to the structure/directory tree, or does it just come with experience?
I never would have found that.
