But if you have Emacs then you most likely have its manuals built in, as well. They are a large part of what makes Emacs "the self-documenting...editor". Try `C-h i' and see if you don't have a menu of manuals to choose from, including `Emacs' and `Elisp'. Learning to ask Emacs itself will greatly help your Emacs experience and learning. Not just the manuals, but the tutorial and the help keys (`C-h C-h', to start). > I'm an undergraduate student and decided to use GNU Emacs.

Many Emacs users use it for email and calendar. Others of us don't.
