I think this have two resource for study Emacs and elisp: one is "Emacs Lisp Referenece", another is EmacsWiki.org > I feel Emacs Lisp Reference is harder and some sections is obscure to me . I think Emacs Lisp Reference is funny manual, it's the biggest advantage of Emacs. I haven't seen any application's document better than Emacs. One thing to read "Emacs Lisp Reference" is "take pains", Emacs need study it everyday, and study is endless even you read complete Emacs Lisp Reference. It's wrong thinking that want study Emacs in short time. Explore emacs is looooooooooooooong way...... :) Cheers, -- Andy
