I also understand that you are a old (and stable) hand when it comes to preparing (instructional) manuals. I will neither question your intention or expertise. ---------------------------------------------------------------- What I would have ALSO liked to hear from you is your inputs on what would make "The Emacs Primer" a success. For example, I am thinking of multiple Emacs primers: 1. An Emacs Primer for Common Text Editing Tasks. 2. An Emacs Primer for Programmers. 3. An Emacs Primer for Thesis Writers. 4 An Emacs Primer for The Network Savvy. ---------------------------------------------------------------- In summary, I really don't want to talk about Emacs Manual. I only want to hear about it Emacs Primer (which is my current interest). ---------------------------------------------------------------- I would very much appreciate your notings on my (future) drafts.
