    doc/pic.ms: Fix erroneous description of "solid".
    
    * doc/pic.ms (Basic PIC Concepts, Decorating Objects/Filled Objects, PIC
      Reference/Semi-Formal Grammar): Fix error; the keyword "solid" set a
      line style, not a fill for a closed figure.  Thanks to Dave Kemper and
      Wim Stockman for reporting and researching this issue.
    
    Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?60470>.
