Message-ID: <87tz4zmfn6.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
I was just navigating my way back to a point in the Emacs Manual, the
section, `22 File Handling'. I did `t', `m' and then typed
file h <TAB>
``[No Match]'' was the message that I got.
From the top level of the manual, ``Files'' is the name of the section.
I remembered the last chapter name or section name I'd come across
(again, `22 File Handling') as I do when I close a book and put it down.
Isn't this a disjunction?
My post may be interpreted as a complaint, but this looked like an
example of the opacity that I sometimes perceive in the documentation of
Emacs but don't know how to verbalize.
Just looking for an explanation.
