There is too much useful information not documented in the Emacs manual only for the reasons of too large printed version. Having a file without limitations would be very nice. For example, the Autotype manual should be placed also into this new Emacs-X manual since Autotype is the only manual that doesn't describe a separate package. Usually people look at separate manuals only when they search for information on a specific package, and so may miss some Emacs features described in the Autotype manual when looking only in the Emacs manual. When people will know that the separate Emacs-X manual exists they will look for the additional information there. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
