Is there a quick-start guide that explains the Ted> changes and how to get started? Nope. However, there aren't really many new Emacs primitives. On my branch I had run-in-thread (and a convenience wrapper macro, with-new-thread), and yield. Giuseppe's branch was slightly different, and I think he added some mutex support as well; I still haven't looked at these. I can explain the bulk of the C changes if you want to understand those. Tom
