You need a good concept index.... Eli Zaretskii is 100% right. Also, you need to describe your entries in more than one way, not only as `Cut and Paste', but also `Paste, Cut', since people look things up in different ways. (I just noticed that the Emacs manual lacks `Paste, Cut' .... :-( ). -- Robert J.
