Why no Whetstone benchmark for calculators

RE: Why no Whetstone benchmark for calculators
I have just been looking at this benchmark again, and have noticed what seems to be a discrepancy in the on-line pdf spec for the Whetstone benchmark:
http://www.roylongbottom.org.uk/whetston...nchorStart

If I am reading this right, the relevant code is:
Code:

N1:=0
//Module 1
X4:=-1
For 1 to N1... (Not executed?)
End for
Print X4

Which one would expect to deliver -1.
But the descriptive text refers to a convergence to 1.

Am I misunderstanding the code or text?
Should X2,X3 and X4 be 1, -1 or something else on the first output?
Does the on-line pdf match the originals (I don't have the paper version to hand).
Are their errata?
