It's only some because I've not spent the time wading into the plethora of stuff Emacs is capable of. I couldn't make use of the information in the NEWS file (I don't even use the menus at the top). All those references to lisp code assume knowledge I don't have and don't help if I don't know where to use them. My .emacs file doesn't have any define-key statements, so I was reluctant to tinker with structures I don't understand. Most ideas I find to do things I'm interested in seem to work in rather different ways, so I haven't figured out a method in the madness yet. Evidently, the NEWS file is not referring to stuff for .Xdefaults which might have been a good place to do something to achieve my aim. However, adding the line (tool-bar-mode nil) to my .emacs file is very simple and works fine for my purposes. Thanks to Christopher J.
