Hello Richard,

here my comments about the changes in the Emacs manual. I looked only
at the differences with the ediff-files command.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

[ buffer.texi:209 ]

I like the text about C-x C-q but should we not mention this behavior
change too in the antinews section. (Only a suggestion)

[ cmdargs.texi:562 ]

Description of the emacs_dir environment variable. I am using this
variable too under GNU/Linux to switch to the cvs version of emacs.
So I am wondering if this variable is really MS-Windows specific.

[ custom.texi:533 ]

Personally I would replace the sample
,----
| (load "~/.emacs-custom")
| (setq custom-file "~/.emacs-custom")
`----
by
,----
| (setq custom-file "~/.emacs-custom")
| (load custom-file)
`----

[ dired.texi:665 ]

Personally I would replace this text

,----
| ... with the list of file names ...
`----
by
,----
| ... with the list of marked file names ...
|                      ^^^^^^
`----

[ killing.texi:325 ]

This seems to be a typo
,----
|   The yank commands discard certain text properties from the text that
| is thanked, those that might lead to annoying results.  For instance,
|    ^^^^^^^
