They are written so you can read them straight through to learn about a topic if you know nothing about it. The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is an exception -- because we have a separate introduction for that topic, so the reference manual does not need to try to serve the same purpose. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
