So I checked the manual for "install" and found that the section about = "Emacs Lisp Packages" did not give information about installing code = that was not in the repositories handled by package.el I seemed to remember that there was something about that in the Elisp = Introduction. So here again, I searched for "install", found "Install a = function definition" that linked to "Installing code permanently" that = lead to "Loading files", where I got enough hints to go back the emacs = manual. So I go back to the Emacs manual, search for "load" and find, under = "Compiling and Testing Code" the "Libraries of Lisp Code for Emacs" = section where the information I'm looking for is written. Would it be acceptable to have a shortcut to that section in the = "Package" chapter ?
