(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information it needs to have.
! You can read the read the Bugs section of the manual from inside Emacs.
! Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info, then m Emacs RET to get to the
! Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET to get to the section on bugs.
! Or you can use the standalone Info program in a like manner.
(Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution, not part of the
Emacs distribution.)
