Same here. Didn't know that, (though I should have thought about it).
Jeff's fix is fine. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

One more thing: can the following correction please be inserted in the
manual?

(Section 3.5.5)
Amend the paragraph beginning with "Qi - " to:

Qi - is automatically assigned to 0.05 for a protein alphabet, and 0.25
for a nucleic acid alphabet. This is for geting the information content
without any assumption of prior distribtions. When assuming priors, or
when using a non-standard alphabet, user should supply the values for Qi.

Scratch the whole paragraph (just following) about gap characters,
including the 2nd equation.  We're not doing it that way anyway.


Thanks,

Iddo
