Hello.
When selecting Help => Tutorial or Help => Emacs News or Help => Emacs Known
Problems you get a statement that local variables may be unsafe. These are
paragraph-separate (for News and Know Problems) and sentence-emd-double-space
for Tutorial.
Are these unsafe or can they be marked safe? It seems a bit unfriendly to a
beginner that wants to start the tutorial to start talking about unsafe lisp
variables :-).

I didn't have this problem in GNU Emacs 23.0.0.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu,
GTK+ Version 2.8.17) of 2006-05-18

Isn't 23.0.0.1 the unicode branch? Did you really start emacs with -Q?

I do not see this problems either on w32. Started with emacs -Q, using
GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.0.2195) of 2006-05-20.

Never mind, autoloads wasn't updated correctly here. Sorry for the noise.
