322This is the introduction to a list of frequently asked questions (FAQ) about
323GNU Emacs with answers. This article contains a listing of the questions;
324subsequent articles contain the questions and answers.
325
326The FAQ list is posted to reduce the noise level in the `gnu.emacs.help'
327newsgroup (which is also the `help-gnu-emacs' mailing list) which results from
328the repetition of frequently asked questions, wrong answers to these questions,
329corrections to the wrong answers, corrections to the corrections, debate, name
330calling, etc. Also, it serves as a repository of the canonical "best" answers
331to these questions. However, if you know a better answer or even a slight
332change that improves an answer, please tell us!
333
334If you know the answer of a question is in the FAQ list, please reply to the
335question by e-mail instead of posting. Help reduce noise!
336
337The FAQ list is crossposted to `comp.emacs' because some sites do not receive
338the `gnu.*' newsgroups. The FAQ list is also crossposted to `news.answers'.
339
340Please suggest new questions, answers, wording changes, deletions, etc. The
341most helpful form for suggestions is a context diff (ie., the output of `diff
342-c'). Include `FAQ' in the subject of messages sent to us about the FAQ list.
343
344Please do not send questions to us just because you do not want to disturb a
345lot of people and you think we would know the answer. We do not have time to
346answer questions individually. :-(
347
348Full instructions for getting the latest FAQ are in question 22. Also see the
349`Introduction to news.answers' posting in the `news.answers' newsgroup, or send
350e-mail to `mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu' with `help' on a body line, or use FTP,
351WAIS, or Prospero to rtfm.mit.edu.
352
353These ideas have already been suggested, but we have not had time to
354implement them:
355
356 * A Texinfo version.
357 * Marking questions in the table of contents that have been changed
358 recently.

4812 GNU Emacs FAQ: Changes
4813
4814The latest version of the GNU Emacs FAQ has changed from the previous version.
4815This article shows the changed text. The contents of this article are from the
4816output of `diff -wu2'. Since the question numbers are generated automatically
4817and can change, these are stripped from both versions before comparing them.
4818After generating the differences for each part, they were concatenated and then
4819edited to remove as much noise as possible. You can't use this as a patch.

5018+ In the words of the author:
5019+
5020+ With these patches, Emacs becomes fully 8-bit operational. There is
5021+ support for displaying 8-bit characters, as well as for entering such
5022+ characters from the keyboard. In addition, upcase/lowcase tranlatsion
5023+ is supported, accented characters are recognized as "letters" (important
5024+ when doing 'forward-word', for example), and text with 8-bit characters
5025+ can be sorted correctly.
5026+
5027+ A Meta-shift key can still be used, provided that you run in an
5028+ environment where it is possible to distinguish between a character
5029+ entered using the Meta-shift key and one entered directly. The diffs
5030+ include patches to make this work under SunView (with emacstool) as
5031+ well as under X. If you can't use a Meta-shift key, you have to enter
5032+ Meta-commands with the ESC-prefix.
