Cengiz,
	I noticed this the other day and made the correction to the current
text but didn't feel it warrented a new update until we resolved the other
issues. Anyway, find below the "current" text for interas-out

	--Tony.

interas-out:

     Format:
          to   <aut-num>   <local-rid>   <neighbor-rid>   [<metric>]
          announce <routing policy expression>

          The keywords to and announce are optional and can be omit-
          ted.

          The definitions of <aut-num>, <local-rid>  <neighbor-rid>,

          and  <routing  policy  expression>  are identical to those
          defined in interas-in.

          <metric> is optional and is defined as follows:

          (<metric-type>=<value>)

          It should be noted the parenthesis ``('' and ``)'' and the
          keywords  of  ``<metric-type>''  must  be present for this
          metric to be valid.

          <metric-type> currently only  supports  "metric-out".   It
          could  be  expanded  to  other  type of preference such as
          TOS/QOS as routing technology matures.
          <value> can take one of the following values:

          <num-metric>
               <num-metric> is a pre-configured metric for  outbound
               routes.  The  lower  the  cost the more preferred the
               route. This <num-metric> value is literally passed by
               the  routing protocol to the neighbor. It is expected
               that it is used there which is indicated by  pref=MED
               on the corresponding interas-in attribute.  It should
               be noted that whether to accept the  outgoing  metric
               or not is totally within the discretion of the neigh-
               bor AS.

          IGP
               This indicates  that  the  metric  reflects  the  ASs
               internal  topology  cost.  The  topology is reflected
               here by using MED which is derived from the AS's  IGP
               metric.

               NOTE: Combinations of IGP and <num-metric> should  be
               avoided for the same destinations.

               CAVEAT: The metric-out values may well be enhanced in
               the  future  as  more  interas  protocols make use of
               metrics.


     Examples:

          interas-out: to AS1104 192.87.45.254/32 192.87.45.80/32 (metric-out=10) announce AS23 AS10
          interas-out: to AS1104 192.87.45.254/32 192.87.45.80/32 (metric-out=15) announce AS10
          interas-out: to AS1103 192.87.45.254/32 192.87.45.80/32 (metric-out=IGP) announce ANY

     Status: optional, multiple lines allowed
