recipe!!

I wonder why the word 'command' changed with 'recipe' in the make
manual!! Command was a better word and inspired the real function of
the shell commands for a rule.

When i look at 'recipe', it takes some seconds to translate it back to
'command' to understand it. The word 'command' is still used at some
parts of the document and it seems that the author did not have time
to replace the new invention completely.

Besides when a manual has bugs as I reported it and the explanations
are ambiguous at many parts, why we need to change the names! There
are many more important things to do than to change the previous names
to make people more confused!!

First it is better to remove bugs and mistakes and to clarify the
subjects by explaining them in details and also many examples has not
been explained enough.
