I learned a lot about my file system in the process. It would be great to see the .el files, as I'm finding emacs lisp combined with the C-h f function surprisingly easy to read.

If you want to see the EL files, i.e., it's not enough for you what C-h f RET returns, then get the GNU Emacs source code.

With a nice full install (like my Mac has), I can do C-h to get the built in help. And then I'll have a link at the top that will take me to the source no matter whether it is in lisp or C.
