I am fairly new to computers - I am just discovering emacs lisp and creating simple functions. I am trying to view the source code of built in functions - I understand how to use etags to set up a tags file for a directory but I can't find the directory that contains the built in functions. I am finding all sorts of .elc files. Is it possible that everything has been byte-compiled? I am on Ubuntu 10.04 (64 bit) with emacs 23.1.1. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. Simon
