Hi;
Just a quick little question. Don't lose sleep over it.
As I find my way around emacs and rudimentary lisp, I keep coming across
terms used mainly in function or commands like '-hungary-',
'-electric-', '-advertised-'. It is fairly easy to puzzle out why some
are used. They convey a description of the purpose or actions of a
command or function -- sort of. Other terms leave me completely
baffled.
I have checked EmacsWiki and Info. Their glossaries deal with
definitions of things like 'mark' and 'point', 'buffer' and 'frame'. I
have used emacs for long enough to understand those.
So my question is; Where can I find a list of explanations for the use
of words like '-hungary-', '-electric-', '-advertised-' etc.?
