Now that the issue of TUGboat has been sent out, I have the updated files for ~/tex-archive/info/beginlatex on CTAN.
The file is beginlatex-3.4.tar.gz (8854032 bytes); there is a file beginlatex-3.4.lis there as well containing a listing of the tarball.
The structure is identical, so you can just remove the existing directory and replace it with the new one.
thanks for the new stuff; i installed it in the small hours of the morning, so it should be well on its way around the world already.
