I agree that Emacs should come with all relevant documentation bundled up as part of the package, but I can not see that this is the same as everything necessarily has to sit inside (the moral equivalent of) one single gigantic texinfo file. There will need to be easy acces to the reference just as we get today easily can get from the documentation of a function to its source definition and there should probably be some top-level entry points with proper reading guidance just as the editing library manual should of course link to the language manual where relevant. ------------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Christian Lynbech | christian #\@ defun #\. dk ------------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Hit the philistines three times over the head with the Elisp reference manual. - petonic@hal.com (Michael A.
