Huh? C-h f next-line RET gives the online doc, and the very first line is next-line is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple.el'. where the string `simple.el' is a hyperlink leading to the definition of next-line in simple.el. So I don't understand what problem you encountered using the online documentation. You can also use M-x find-function RET next-line RET to get to the source. What is your problem? -- David Kastrup
