Hello,

Ordinal (intercardinal) directions are swapped in hack(6)'s help.

For a second there, I though that no one else noticed since the 80s ;^)
...not the case[0] :^P

While there, I'm tempted to capitalise both cardinal and ordinal
directions as they traditionally are - patch for each option below.

Cheers,
