TUTORIAL.cn File Bug

TUTORIAL.cn File Bug

[Herbert Euler]

[I'd sent this mail to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org, but didn't
get response.  I'm not sure whether I'm inside that list.  ]

Hello,

Yesterday I checked out the Emacs Unicode 2 source.
After bootstrapping, I found nothing follows the line
"Important Help menu items: " in fancy splash screen.

I've checked the source code and found why.  Sun Yijiang
has edited the file etc/TUTORIAL.cn, but deleted the dot
"." after "Emacs 快速指南" incorrectly.  This causes 
the
lambda function in variable 'fancy-splash-text' complains
about the failure of searching for a dot:

[in 'fancy-splash-text']
           (lambda ()
             (let* ((en "TUTORIAL")
                    (tut (or (get-language-info current-language-environment
                                                'tutorial)
                             en))
                    (title (with-temp-buffer
                             (insert-file-contents
                              (expand-file-name tut data-directory)
                              nil 0 256)
                             (search-forward ".")
                             (buffer-substring (point-min) (1- (point))))))

After adding a dot, the splash screen is displayed correctly.

Regards,
Guanpeng Xu

Using this dot in the first line is too error-prone for languages where this
is grammatically incorrect.  I think a better place to set the tutorial title
is language-info-alist or maybe even a special variable in the Local Variables
section of every TUTORIAL file.

i installed your fix on the trunk recently.  perhaps whoever
is maintaining the unicode branch will synch up shortly.
