Yes, that's true. The Elisp manual is great. Thank you,
all of you who wrote and/or provided feedback to that
great book. I'm actually reading it cover to cover as
we speak. But I haven't gotten that far.

I managed to print it after getting the info system to
work. Apparently I had to add "non-free" to the Debian
repos for the emacs24-common-non-dfsg to show up on
aptitude search. Non-Debian-free-software-guidelines! I
thought the GNU Emacs people were the
fanatics... perhaps I should switch team!

Speaking of the manual, is this correct?

Remember this method in Linux:

control keycode 39 = U+010F  # C-; - get 39 with keycode
                             # then update with
                             # loadkeys <file>
;; and then                             
(define-key input-decode-map [?\u010F] [C-semi-colon])
