This maybe doesn't apply to the OP, but I've seen MacOSX user= s who don't even
know what a "terminal" is, let alone how to open one (being a Lin= ux user
myself, I also had some trouble finding a way to open a terminal when I fir= st
sat in front of a Mac machine on one occasion).

So, is there a way to find out the emacs version from within a running emac= s
instance itself?

Best, :-)
