I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but the ComputerCraft wiki states in the Turtle API page that turtle.select() returns a boolean success value, but when you click on that function to see the turtle.select() function-specific page, it is said that the function returns a boolean whether or not the specified slot is greater than nine value. Which is correct?

I could do some experimentation to see which is true, but I need to know for certain if my findings are correct, to avoid putting false information into the wiki pages as an incorrect correction.

It would seam to me that the "greater than 9" is an outdated definition, basically meaning the same thing as what is said in the API page: if it is greater than 9 - nine being the old max slot number - it will fail, so essentially- boolean success.

Thanks.

Sorry if I raised confusion with that "correction" line, I assumed I'd have modification access (it's a wiki, after all) to correct the definition.
