It does not seem to matter that I've been using emacs for 20 years. ``appropos novice'' yields nothing. I suppose I could go hunting around the file system to find where "novice.el" is hidden, but I really don't want to do that. I just want all these nonsense "novice" confirmation junk turned off and I want it easy to find. Why is that too much to ask? :( OK. I've vented now. Would someone please be kind enough to tell me how to shut down the novice stuff completely? Thank you. P.S.
