-This is the introduction to a list of frequently asked questions (FAQ) about
-GNU Emacs with answers.  This article contains a listing of the questions;
-subsequent articles contain the questions and answers.
-
-The FAQ list is posted to reduce the noise level in the `gnu.emacs.help'
-newsgroup (which is also the `help-gnu-emacs' mailing list) which results from
-the repetition of frequently asked questions, wrong answers to these questions,
-corrections to the wrong answers, corrections to the corrections, debate, name

+It has been so long since the FAQ was last edited and released that the
+maintainers decided to take a two-step approach.  This edition corrects
+many basic inaccuracies in the old FAQ, most of them having to do with ftp
+sites and version numbers.  In addition, we have deleted a number of
+questions that are no longer relevant with the release of GNU Emacs 19.
 
-Full instructions for getting the latest FAQ are in question 22.  Also
-see the `Introduction to news.answers' posting in the `news.answers'
-newsgroup, or send e-mail to `mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu' with `help' on
-a body line, or use FTP, WAIS, or Prospero to rtfm.mit.edu.  [Note: in
-Sep 1994, this seems no longer to be true--rms.]
+Many questions specific to recent releases of GNU Emacs 19 remain
+unanswered in this version of the FAQ; the maintainers will spend time over
+the next month or two adding new questions (and answers), based in no small
+part on the questions that have come across help-gnu-emacs in recent
+months.
 
-These ideas have already been suggested, but we have not had time to
-implement them:
+There is no diff file for this version of the FAQ, as many things have
+changed since it was last updated.
 
-  * A Texinfo version.
-  * Marking questions in the table of contents that have been changed
-    recently.

+of `diff -c').  Include `FAQ' in the subject of messages sent to us about

 1:   What do these mean: C-h, M-C-a, RET, "ESC a", etc.?
-  
-  C-x means press the `x' key while holding down the Control key.  M-x means
-  press the `x' key while holding down the Meta key.  M-C-x means press the
-  `x' key while holding down both the Control key and the Meta key.  C-M-a
-  is a synonym for M-C-a.  RET, LFD, DEL, ESC, and TAB respectively refer to
-  pressing the Return, Linefeed (aka Newline), Delete, Escape, and Tab keys
-  and are equivalent to C-m, C-j, C-?, C-[, and C-i.  SPC means press the
-  Space bar.
-  
-  I put any key sequence that is longer than one key (and some single-key
-  sequences) inside double quotes or on a line by itself.  Any real spaces
-  in such a key sequence should be ignored; only SPC really means press the
-  space key.

   The ASCII code sent by C-x (except for C-?) is the value that would be
   sent by pressing just `x' minus 96 (or 64 for uppercase `X') and will be
   from 0 to 31.  The ASCII code sent by M-x is the sum of 128 and the ASCII
   code that would be sent by pressing just the `x' key.  Essentially, the
   Control key turns off bits 5 and 6 and the Meta key turns on bit 7.

+  manual.
+
+  NOTE: C-? (aka DEL) is ASCII code 127.  It is a misnomer to call C-?  a
   "control" key, since 127 has both bits 5 and 6 turned ON.  Also, on very
   few keyboards does Control-? generate ASCII code 127.

+
 2:   What does "M-x command" mean?
-  
+
   "M-x command" means type M-x, then type the name of the command, then
   type RET.
-  
+
   M-x (by default) invokes the command `execute-extended-command'.  This
   command allows you to run any Emacs command if you can remember the
   command's name.  If you can't remember the command's name, you can type
-  TAB and SPC for completion, and "?" for a list of possibilities.  An Emacs
-  "command" is any "interactive" Emacs function.
-  
+  TAB and SPC for completion, "?" for a list of possibilities, and M-p and

   NOTE: Your system administrator may have bound other key sequences to
   invoke execute-extended-command.  A function key labeled `Do' is a good
   candidate for this.

   with newsgroups, it lists both the newsgroup name and the mailing list
   address.
-  
-  comp.emacs is for discussion of Emacs programs in general.  This
-  includes GNU Emacs along with various other implementations like JOVE,

   Many people post GNU Emacs questions to comp.emacs because they don't
   receive any of the gnu.* newsgroups.  Arguments have been made both for
   and against posting GNU-Emacs-specific material to comp.emacs.  You have
   to decide for yourself.

 9:   Where can I get old postings to gnu.emacs.help and other GNU groups?
-  
+
   The FSF has maintained archives of all of the GNU mailing lists for many
   years, although there may be some unintentional gaps in coverage.  The
   archive is not particularly well organized or easy to retrieve individual
-  postings from, but pretty much everything is there.
-  
-    Anonymous FTP:
-      /prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/MailingListArchives/
-  
-  There is a WAIS database named `comp.emacs' on wais.oit.unc.edu that

+
+    /prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/MailingListArchives/
+
 10:  Where should I report bugs and other problems with GNU Emacs?
-  
+
   The correct way to report GNU Emacs bugs is by e-mail to
   bug-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu.  Anything sent here also appears in the
   newsgroup gnu.emacs.bug, but please use e-mail instead of news to submit
   the bug report.  This way a reliable return address is available so you
   can be contacted for further details.
-  
+
   RMS explains:
-  
+
     Sending bug reports to help-gnu-emacs (which has the effect of posting
     on gnu.emacs.help) is undesirable because it takes the time of an
     unnecessarily large group of people, most of whom are just users and
     have no idea how to fix these problem.  bug-gnu-emacs reaches a much
     smaller group of people who are more likely to know what to do and have
     expressed a wish to receive more messages about Emacs than the others.
-  
+
   However, RMS says there are circumstances when it is okay to post to
   gnu.emacs.help:
-  
-    If you have reported a bug and you don't hear about a possible fix, then
-    after a suitable delay (such as a week) it is okay to post on

+    If you have reported a bug and you don't hear about a possible fix,
+    then after a suitable delay (such as a week) it is okay to post on
     gnu.emacs.help asking if anyone can help you.
-  
+
   If you are unsure whether you have a bug, RMS describes how to tell:
-  
+
     ... if Emacs crashes, that is a bug.  If Emacs gets compilation errors
-    while building, that is a bug.  If Emacs crashes while building, that is

+
+  If you are receiving a GNU mailing list named `XXX', you might be able to

   distribution point.  In that case, you will have to track down at which
-  distribution point you are listed.  Inspecting the `Received:' headers
-  on the mail messages may help, along with liberal use of the `EXPN' or

+    http://www.cs.indiana.edu/usr/local/www/elisp/elisp-intro.html
+
+  Of course, you can also print this 760-page manual yourself.  For
+  instructions on how to do this, see question 18.
+
 17:  How do I install a piece of Texinfo documentation?
-  
-  First create Info files from the Texinfo files with the `makeinfo'
-  program.  makeinfo is available as part of the latest Texinfo package:
-  
-    /prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/texinfo-2.14.tar.Z
-  
+
+  First, you must turn the Texinfo files into Info files.  You may do this
+  within Emacs, using "M-x texinfo-format-buffer", or with the standalone
+  `makeinfo' program, available as part of the latest Texinfo package via
+  anonymous ftp from:
+
+    /prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/texinfo-3.1.tar.gz
+
+  and all prep mirrors (See question 80 for a list).
+
   For information about the Texinfo format, read the Texinfo manual which
-  comes with Emacs.  This manual also comes installed in Info format, so you
-  can read it online.
-  
-  Neither texinfo-format-buffer nor the makeinfo program install the
-  resulting Info files in Emacs's Info tree.  To install Info files:
-  
+  comes with Emacs.  This manual also comes installed in Info format, so
+  you can read it on-line.
+
+  Neither texinfo-format-buffer nor makeinfo installs the resulting Info
+  files in Emacs's Info tree.  To install Info files:
+
   1. Move the files to the `info' directory in the installed Emacs
-     distribution.  See question 4 if you don't know where that
-     is.
-  
+     distribution.  See question 4 if you don't know where that is.
+
   2. Edit the file info/dir in the installed Emacs distribution, and add a
      line for the top level node in the Info package that you are
-     installing.  Follow the examples are already in this file.  The format
-     is:
-  
+     installing.  Follow the examples already in this file.  The format is:
+
        * Topic: (relative-pathname).  Short description of topic.
-  
+
   If you want to install Info files and you don't have the necessary
   privileges, you have several options:
-  
+
   * Info files don't actually need to be installed before being used.  You
     can feed a file name to the Info-goto-node command (invoked by pressing
     "g" in Info mode) by typing the name of the file in parentheses.  This
     goes to the node named `Top' in that file.  For example, to view a Info
     file named `XXX' in your home directory, you can type this:
-  
+
       C-h i g (~/XXX) RET
-  
+
   * You can create your own Info directory.  You can tell Emacs where the
-    Info directory is by setting the value of the variable Info-directory
-    to its pathname.  For example, to use a private Info directory which
-    is a subdirectory of your home directory named `Info', you could do
-    this:
-  
-      (setq Info-directory (expand-file-name "~/Info"))
-  
-    You will need a top-level Info file named `dir' in this directory.
-    You can include the system-wide Info directory in your private Info
-    directory with symbolic links or by copying it.
-  
-  * You can use an enhanced version of lisp/info.el that handles multiple
-    Info directories.  Then you can more easily use a mix of private and
-    shared Info files.  Dave Gillespie <daveg@synaptics.com,
-    daveg@csvax.cs.caltech.edu> has written one such enhancement and I
-    believe there are others.  Dave's info.el also handles compressed Info
-    files.
-  
-    Anonymous FTP:
-      /archive.cis.ohio-state.edu:modes/info.el.Z
-      /ftp.uu.net:languages/emacs-lisp/modes/info.el.Z                       !
-  
-    According to Jay Bourland <jayb@math.stanford.edu>, a version of Dave's
-    info.el comes with `xinfo' (see question 19).
-  
+    Info directory is by adding its pathname to the value of the variable
+    Info-default-directory-list.  For example, to use a private Info
+    directory which is a subdirectory of your home directory named `Info',
+    you could put this in your .emacs file:
+
+      (setq Info-default-directory-list 
+            (cons "~/Info" Info-default-directory-list))
+
+    You will need a top-level Info file named `dir' in this directory which
+    has everything the system dir file has in it, except it should list
+    only entries for Info files in that directory.  You might not need it
+    if all files in this directory were referenced by other `dir' files.
+    The node lists from all dir files in Info-default-directory-list are
+    merged by the Info system.
+
 18:  How do I print a Texinfo file?
-  
+
   NOTE: You can't get nice printed output from Info files; you must still
   have the original Texinfo source file for the manual you want to print.
-  
+
   1. Make sure the first line of the Texinfo file looks like this:
-  
+
        \input texinfo
-  
+
      You may need to alter `texinfo' to the full pathname of the
      texinfo.tex file, which comes with Emacs as man/texinfo.tex (or copy
      or link it into the current directory).
-  
+
   2. tex XXX.texinfo
-  
+
   3. texindex XXX.??
-  
+
      The `texindex' program comes with Emacs as man/texindex.c.
-  
+
   4. tex XXX.texinfo
-  
-  5. Print the DVI file XXX.dvi in the normal way for printing DVI files
-     at your site.
-  
+
+  5. Print the DVI file XXX.dvi in the normal way for printing DVI files at
+     your site.
+
   To get more general instructions, retrieve the latest Texinfo package
   mentioned in question 17.
-  
+
 19:  Can I view Info files without using GNU Emacs?
-  
-  Yes, the `info', `xinfo', and `ivinfo' programs do this.  info uses
-  curses, xinfo uses standard X11 libraries, and ivinfo uses InterViews.
-  You can get info as part of the latest Texinfo package (see question
-  17).  xinfo is available separately:

-    /export.lcs.mit.edu:
-  
+
+  Yes, the `info', `xinfo', `tkinfo', and `ivinfo' programs do this.  Info

 21:  Where can I get help in installing GNU Emacs?
-  
+
   Look in etc/SERVICE for names of companies and individuals who will sell
   you this type of service.  An up-to-date version of the SERVICE file is
   available on prep.ai.mit.edu (also see question 20).
-  
+
+  You might also try the help-gnu-emacs mailing list, which is also known
+  as the gnu.emacs.help newsgroup, although many installation questions can
+  easily be answered by looking at the PROBLEMS file (in the top-level
+  directory when you unpack the Emacs source).

   The GNU Emacs FAQ is available in several ways:
-  
+
   * Via USENET.  If you can read news, the FAQ should be available in your
-    news spool, in both the gnu.emacs.help and comp.emacs newsgroups.  Every
-    news reader of which I know will allow you to read any news article that
-    is still in the news spool, even if you have read the article before.
-    You may need to read the instructions for your news reader to discover
-    how to do this.  In `rn', this command will do this for you at the

 Status of Emacs
 
 23:  Where does the name "Emacs" come from?
-  
+
   Emacs originally was an acronym for Editor MACroS.  RMS says he "picked
   the name `Emacs' because `E' was not in use as an abbreviation on ITS at
-  the time.".  The first Emacs was a set of macros written in 1976 at MIT by
-  RMS for the editor TECO (Text Editor and COrrector (originally Tape Editor
-  and COrrector)) under ITS on a PDP-10.  RMS had already extended TECO with
-  a "real-time" full screen mode with active keys.  Emacs was started by Guy
-  Steele <gls@think.com> as a project to unify the many divergent TECO
-  command sets and keybindings at MIT.
-  
-  Many people have told me that TECO code looks a lot like line noise.  See
-  alt.lang.teco if you are interested.  I think someone has written a TECO
-   implementation in Emacs Lisp.  It would be an interesting project to run

-24:  What is the latest version of GNU Emacs?
-  
-  GNU Emacs 18.59 is the current version.  Fixes from 18.57 include better
-  mail address parsing, an X visual bell speedup, a call-process
-  enhancement, a regexp matching change, the ability to apply a numeric
-  argument to a self-inserting digit, getting X resource values from the
-  RESOURCE_MANAGER property, more reliable shell mode job control, and a
-  change to copy-keymap.  Also, support has been added for many new system
-  types.  Fixes from 18.55 include the removal of arbitrary limits on the
-  undo facility.
-  
-  According to the January 1992 GNU's Bulletin, "Emacs 18 maintenance
-  continues for simple bug fixes.".
-  
-  To visit a file with information about what has changed in recent
-  versions, type "C-h n".

-25:  When will GNU Emacs 19 be available?
-  
-  Richard Stallman recently (February 19, 1993) posted in gnu.emacs.help     !
-  the following:                                                             !

-    People should keep in mind that the successor of Emacs 18 does not       !
-    come from Lucid.  Its is GNU Emacs 19.  I still can't say exactly when   !
-    public release is going to be, but we are about to start testing at a    !
-    number of sites.                                                         !
-                                                                             !
-    GNU Emacs 19 will support a broad spectrum of machines, like Emacs       !
-    18.  Ensuring this is the purpose of the testing we are about to do.     !
-                                                                             !

-    next edition will describe Emacs 19.  There will be an announcement      !
-    when we know when this edition will be available.                        !
-
-  Lucid has released Lucid GNU Emacs 19.6, which is based on an early        !
-  unreleased version of GNU Emacs 19.  This will be similar to Emacs 19 when
-  it finally arrives, but they are not the same.  See question 121.
-  
-  Work has begun on features for Emacs 20.
-  
-26:  What is different about GNU Emacs 19?
-  
-  From the January 1992 GNU's Bulletin:
-  
-    Version 19 will enter beta test late this year.  Among its new features
-    are: before and after change hooks, source-level debugging of Emacs Lisp
-    programs, X selection processing (including clipboard selections),
-    scrollbars, support for European character sets, floating point numbers,
-    per-buffer mouse commands, X resource manager interfacing,
-    mouse-tracking, Lisp-level binding of function keys, multiple X windows
-    (`screens' to Emacs), a new input system, and buffer allocation, which
-    uses a new mechanism capable of returning storage to the system when a
-    buffer is killed.
-  
-    The input stream is now a sequence of Lisp objects, instead of a
-    sequence of characters.  This allows a reasonable representation for
-    mouse clicks, function keys, menu selections, etc.
-  
-    Thanks go to Alan Carroll and the people who worked on Epoch for
-    generating initial feedback to a multi-windowed Emacs, and to Eric
-    Raymond for help in polishing the Emacs 19 Lisp libraries.
-  
-  The June 1991 GNU's bulletin had this to say about future plans for Emacs:
-  
-    Features being considered for later releases of Emacs include:
-    associating property lists with regions of text in a buffer; multiple
-    fonts, color, and pixmaps defined by those properties; different
-    visibility conditions for the regions, and for various windows showing
-    one buffer; hooks to be run if point or mouse moves outside a certain
-    range; incrementally saving undo history in a file; static menu bars;
-    and better pop-up menus.
-  
-  Mention of this feature disappeared in the January 1992 GNU's bulletin:
-  
-    Emacs 19 supports two styles of multiple windows, one with a separate
-    screen for the minibuffer, and another with a minibuffer attached to
-    each screen.
-  
-  Mention of these two proposed features disappeared in the January 1991
-  GNU's bulletin:
-  
-  * Incremental syntax analysis for various programming languages (Leif).
-  * A more sophisticated emacsclient/server model, which would provide
-    network transparent Emacs widget functionality.
-  
-27:  What variants of GNU Emacs exist?
-  
-  * Nemacs (Nihongo Emacs), which can handle Japanese text, is derived from
-    GNU Emacs 18.55.  See question 149.
-  
-  * Demacs, which can run under MS-DOS on 386 machines, is derived from
-    Nemacs.  See question 122.
-  
-  * Epoch, which has better X support, is derived from GNU Emacs 18.58.
-    See question 120 and 92.
-  
-  * Nepoch (Nihongo Epoch), which can handle Japanese text, is derived from
-    Epoch.
-  
-  * Mule (the MULtilingual Enhancement of GNU Emacs) can handle many
-    character sets simultaneously.  It is derived from Emacs 18.58.  It is
-    available for FTP:
-  
-      /sh.wide.ad.jp:/JAPAN/mule/
-      /etlport.etl.go.jp:/pub/mule/
-  
-  * Lucid GNU Emacs is derived from an early unreleased version of GNU Emacs
-    19.  See question 121 and 92.

+24:  What is the latest version of GNU Emacs?
 
-                 GNU Emacs FAQ: Common Requests/Problems
+  GNU Emacs 19.27 is the current version as of 6 September, 1994.
 
-If you are viewing this text in a GNU Emacs Buffer, you can type "M-2 C-x $" to
-get an overview of just the questions.  Then, when you want to look at the text
-of the answers, just type "C-x $".
+25:  What is different about GNU Emacs 19?
 
-To search for a question numbered XXX, type "M-C-s ^XXX:", followed by a C-r if
-that doesn't work, then type ESC to end the search.
+  To find out what has changed in recent versions, type C-h n (M-x
+  view-emacs-news).  The oldest changes are at the bottom of the file, so
+  you might want to read it starting there, rather than at the top.
 
-A `+' in the 78th column means something was inserted on the line.  A `-' means
-something was deleted and a `!' means some combination of insertions and
-deletions occurred.
+  The most obvious changes have to do with the user interface -- GNU Emacs
+  19 is fully X-aware, and provides pull-down menus and scroll bars.  Emacs
+  19 also supports fonts and colors, including context-specific
+  highlighting of source code and other types of buffers.
 
-Full instructions for getting the latest FAQ are in question 22.  Also see the
-`Introduction to news.answers' posting in the `news.answers' newsgroup, or send
-e-mail to `mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu' with `help' on a body line, or use FTP,
-WAIS, or Prospero to rtfm.mit.edu.
+  Other changes include a line number mode, which displays the current line
+  number in the mode line, and default bindings for arrow and paging keys
+  that work.
 
+  Lower-level changes include a smarter memory allocation scheme (Emacs now
+  returns memory to the operating system when you kill buffers), a better
+  byte-compiler, and a source-level Emacs Lisp debugger.
 
+  There are also a number of new Lisp packages, ranging from dunnet (an
+  Adventure-like program) to mldrag (allows you to drag the mode line up
+  and down with the mouse buttons) to gud (Grand Unified Debugger mode, for
+  many flavors of debuggers).  A number of popular Lisp packages, such as
+  SuperCite and the calendar/diary, are also included.

+26:  How do I set up a .emacs file properly?
+
   See `Init File' in the on-line manual.
-  
-  WARNING: In general, new Emacs users should not have .emacs files, because
-  it causes confusing non-standard behavior.  Then they send questions to
-  help-gnu-emacs asking why Emacs isn't behaving as documented.  :-)
-  
-29:  How do I debug a .emacs file?
-  
-  First start Emacs with the `-q' command line option.  Then, in the
-  *scratch* buffer, type the following:
-  
-    (setq debug-on-error t) LFD
-    (load-file "~/.emacs") LFD
-  
-  (Type LFD by pressing C-j.)
-  
-  If you have an error in your .emacs file, this will invoke the debugger
-  when the error occurs.  If you don't know how to use the debugger do
-  (setq stack-trace-on-error t) instead.
-  
-  WARNING: this will not discover errors caused by trying to do something
-  that requires the terminal/window-system initialization code to have
-  been loaded.  See question 127.

+
+  WARNING: In general, new Emacs users should not have .emacs files,

+  questions to help-gnu-emacs asking why Emacs isn't behaving as
+  documented.  :-)
+
+27:  How do I debug a .emacs file?
+
+  First start Emacs with the `-debug-init' command-line option.  This
+  option enables the Emacs Lisp debugger before evaluating your .emacs
+  file, and places you in the debugger if something goes wrong.  The top
+  line in the trace-back buffer will be the error message, and the second
+  or third line of that buffer will display the Lisp code from your .emacs
+  that caused the problem.
+
+  You can also evaluate an individual function or argument to a function in
+  your .emacs file by moving the cursor to the end of the function or
+  argument and typing "C-x C-e" (M-x eval-last-sexp).
+
+  Use "C-h v" (M-x describe-variable) to check the value of variables which
+  you are trying to set or use.
+
+28:  How do I make Emacs display the current line (or column) number?
+
   To find out what line of the buffer you are on right now, do "M-x
   what-line".  Use "M-x goto-line" to go to a specific line.  To find the
   current column number, type "M-ESC (current-column)".
-  
-  Typing "C-x l" will also tell you what line you are on, provided the
-  buffer isn't separated into "pages" with C-l characters.  In that case, it
-  will only tell you what line of the current "page" you are on.  WARNING:
-  "C-x l" gives the wrong value when point is at the beginning of a line.
-  
-  There is no "correct" way to constantly display the current (or total)
-  line (or column) number on the mode line in Emacs 18, or to display the
-  line numbers next to the lines like vi can.  Emacs is not a line-oriented
-  editor, and really has no idea what "lines" of the buffer are displayed in
-  the window.  It would require a lot of work at the C code level to make
-  Emacs keep track of this.  It would not be that hard to get the column
-  number, but it would still require changes at the C code level.
-  
+
+  If you use these commands often, you might want to bind them to a key.
+  See question 104 for instructions on how to do that.
+
+  Typing "C-x l" (or M-x count-lines-page) will also tell you what line you
+  are on, provided the buffer isn't separated into "pages" with C-l
+  characters.  In that case, it will only tell you what line of the current
+  "page" you are on.
+
+  To have Emacs automatically display the current line number of the point
+  in the mode line, do "M-x line-number-mode".  You can also put the form
+
+    (setq line-number-mode t) 
+
+  in your .emacs file to achieve this whenever you start Emacs.  Note that
+  Emacs will not display the line number if the buffer is larger than the
+  value of the variable line-number-display-limit.
+
   None of the vi emulation modes provide the `set number' capability of vi
-  (as far as I know).
-  
-  Emacs 19 will probably be able to show the line number on the mode-line,
-  but probably very inefficiently.
-  
-  People have written various kludges to display line numbers.  One is
-  `display-line-numbers' by Wayne Mesard <wmesard@tofu.oracle.com,
-  Mesard@bbn.com>.  Look in the Lisp Code Directory.  (See question
-  88.)

-31:  How do I turn on Abbrevs by default just in mode XXX?
-  
+  (as far as we know).
+
+29:  How do I turn on abbrevs by default just in mode XXX?
+
   Put this in your .emacs file:
-  
+
     (condition-case ()
-        (read-abbrev-file nil t)
+       (quietly-read-abbrev-file)
       (file-error nil))
-  
-    (setq XXX-mode-hook
-          (function
-           (lambda ()
-             (setq abbrev-mode t))))
-  
-32:  How do I turn on Auto-Fill mode by default?
-  
-  To turn on Auto-Fill mode just once for one buffer, use "M-x
+
+    (add-hook 'XXX-mode-hook
+              (function
+                (lambda ()
+                 (setq abbrev-mode t))))
+
+30:  How do I turn on auto-fill mode by default?
+
+  To turn on auto-fill mode just once for one buffer, use "M-x
   auto-fill-mode".  To turn it on for every buffer in, for example, Text
   mode, do this:
-  
-    (setq text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
-  
-  If you want Auto-Fill mode on in all major modes, do this:
-  
+
+    (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
+
+  If you want auto-fill mode on in all major modes, do this:
+
     (setq-default auto-fill-hook 'do-auto-fill)

+
     (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.YYY\\'" . XXX-mode) auto-mode-alist))
-

   Otherwise put this somewhere in the first line of any file you want to
   edit in XXX mode:
-  
+
     -*-XXX-*-
-  
-34:  How do I search for, delete, or replace unprintable (8-bit or control)
- characters?
-  
+
+  Emacs 19 also includes a new variable, interpreter-mode-alist, that
+  specifies which mode to use when loading a shell script.  (Emacs
+  determines which interpreter you're using by examining the first line of
+  the file.)  This feature only applies when the file name doesn't indicate
+  which mode to use.  Use "C-h v" (or M-x describe-variable) to learn more
+  about this variable.
+
+32:  How do I search for, delete, or replace unprintable (8-bit or control)
+     characters?
+
   To search for a single character that appears in the buffer as, for
-  example, `\237', you can type "C-s C-q 2 3 7".  (This assumes the value of
-  search-quote-char is 17 (ie., C-q).)  Searching for ALL unprintable
-  characters is best done with a "regexp" search.  The easiest regexp to use
-  for the unprintable chars is the complement of the regexp for the
+  example, `\237', you can type "C-s C-q 2 3 7".  (This assumes the value
+  of search-quote-char is 17 (i.e., C-q).)  Searching for ALL unprintable
+  characters is best done with a "regexp" search.  The easiest regexp to
+  use for the unprintable chars is the complement of the regexp for the
   printable chars.
-  
+
   Regexp for the printable chars: [\t\n\r\f -~]
-  
+
   Regexp for the unprintable chars: [^\t\n\r\f -~]
-  
+
   To type some of these special characters in an interactive argument to
   isearch-forward-regexp or re-search-forward, you need to use C-q.  (`\t',
   `\n', `\r', and `\f' stand respectively for TAB, LFD, RET, and C-l.)  So,
   to search for unprintable characters using re-search-forward:
-  
+
     M-x re-search-forward RET [^ TAB C-q LFD C-q RET C-q C-l SPC -~] RET
-  
+
   Using isearch-forward-regexp:
-  
+
     M-C-s [^ TAB RET C-q RET C-q C-l SPC -~]
-  
-  To delete all unprintable characters, simply use a replace-regexp:
-  
+
+  To delete all unprintable characters, simply use replace-regexp:
+
     M-x replace-regexp RET [^ TAB C-q LFD C-q RET C-q C-l SPC -~] RET RET
-  
-  Replacing is similar to the above.  {I need to write the text for this
-  part of the answer!}
-  
-  Notes:
-  
-  * With isearch, you can type RET to get a quoted LFD (not a quoted RET).
-  
-  * You don't need to quote TAB with either isearch or typing something in
-    the minibuffer.
-  
-  Here are the Emacs Lisp forms of the above regexps:
-  
-    ;; regexp matching all printable characters:
-    "[\t\n\r\f -~]"
-  
-    ;; regexp matching all unprintable characters:
-    "[^\t\n\r\f -~]"
-  
-35:  How can I highlight a region of text in Emacs?
-  
-  There are ways to get highlighting (reverse video, inverse video) in GNU
-  Emacs 18.59, but either they require patching the C code of Emacs and
-  rebuilding, or they are slow and the highlighting disappears if you scroll
-  or redraw the screen and it can not follow the point.  Howard Gayle's
-  patches for 8-bit output appear to allow highlighting (see question
-  ^8-bit-output).  Another patch for highlighting is by Kenichi Handa
-  <handa@etl.go.jp>.  There is a patch for use with X by Andy Norman
-  <ange@hplb.hpl.hp.com> (and modified for 18.57 by Matthieu Herrb
-  <matthieu@laas.fr>), which is available for FTP:
-  
-    /laas.laas.fr:pub/emacs/patch-X11-18.55
-    /laas.laas.fr:pub/emacs/patch-X11-18.57
-  
-  You can highlight regions in a variety of ways in Epoch and Lucid Emacs.
-  GNU Emacs 19 may not be able to just temporarily highlight a region.
-  
-  Similar comments apply to displaying text in different fonts, except that
-  it is even harder.
-  
-36:  How do I control Emacs's case-sensitivity when searching/replacing?
-    
+
+  Replacing is similar to the above.  To replace all unprintable characters
+  with a colon, use:
+
+    M-x replace-regexp RET [^ TAB C-q LFD C-q RET C-q C-l SPC -~] RET : RET
+
+  NOTE:  * You don't need to quote TAB with either isearch or typing
+           something in the minibuffer.
+
+33:  How can I highlight a region of text in Emacs?
+
+  If you are using a windowing system such as X, you can cause the region
+  to be highlighted when the mark is active by including
+
+        (transient-mark-mode t)
+
+  in your .emacs.  There are also the following packages for content- based
+  highlighting:
+
+        hilit19.el
+        font-lock.el
+
+34:  How do I control Emacs's case-sensitivity when searching/replacing?
+
   For searching, the value of the variable case-fold-search determines
   whether they are case sensitive:
-  
+
     (setq case-fold-search nil) ; make searches case sensitive
     (setq case-fold-search t)   ; make searches case insensitive
-  
+
   Similarly, for replacing the variable case-replace determines whether
   replacements preserve case.
-  
+
   To change the case sensitivity just for one major mode, use the major
   mode's hook.  For example:
-  
-    (setq XXX-mode-hook
+
+    (add-hook 'XXX-mode-hook
           (function
-           (lambda ()
-             (setq case-fold-search nil))))
-  
-37:  How do I make Emacs wrap words for me?
-  
-  M-x auto-fill-mode.  The default maximum line width is 74, determined by
-  the variable fill-column.  To find how to turn this on automatically see
-  question 32.
-  
-38:  Where can I get a better spelling checker for Emacs?
-  
-  Use Ispell.  See question 119.
-  
-39:  How can I spell-check TeX or *roff documents?
-  
-  If you want to spell-check TeX or *roff documents with Ispell, you need to
-  arrange for a filter program that understands how to strip TeX or *roff
-  formatting commands to be run.  In the TeX distribution, there are several
-  different programs named `detex', all with incompatible options, and a
-  very old pair of programs named `detex' and `delatex', which should
-  probably be avoided.  The most useful one for Ispell is `detex' by Daniel
-  Trinkle.  A more recent version is available via FTP:
-  
-    /arthur.cs.purdue.edu:pub/trinkle/detex-2.4.tar
-  
-  Raphael Cerf <cerf@clipper.ens.fr> recently released a program for this
-  named `xetal':
-  
-    /spi.ens.fr:pub/unix/tex/
-  
-  There is a program that comes with Unix named `deroff' for stripping
-  formatting commands from *roff files.
-  
-  Here is an example of code you can put in a .emacs file to use these
-  programs:
-  
-    ;; Based on suggestions by David G. Grubbs <dgg@ksr.com> and Paul Palmer
-    ;; <palmerp@math.orst.edu>.
-  
-    ;; Assuming the use of detex 2.3 by Daniel Trinkle:
-    ;; -w means one word per line.
-    ;; -n means don't expand \input or \include commands.
-    ;; -l means force LaTeX mode.
-  
-    (require 'ispell) ; for the make-variable-buffer-local statements
-    (setq plain-TeX-mode-hook
-          (function
-           (lambda ()
-             (setq ispell-filter-hook "detex")
-             (setq ispell-filter-hook-args '("-nw")))))
-    (setq LaTeX-mode-hook
-          (function
-           (lambda ()
-             (setq ispell-filter-hook "detex")
-             (setq ispell-filter-hook-args '("-lnw")))))
-    (setq nroff-mode-hook
-          (function
-           (lambda ()
-             (setq ispell-filter-hook "deroff")
-             (setq ispell-filter-hook-args '("-w")))))
-  
-  You will have to adjust the arguments for programs other than Trinkle's
-  detex or for other versions of deroff.  Experiment running the command
-  from the shell to find the correct options.  If you don't have a filter
-  that knows how to output one word per line, you must pipe its output
-  through another filter to break up the output.

   In general, you should only *add* to the load-path.  You can add
   directory /XXX/YYY to the load path like this:
-  
-    (setq load-path (append load-path '("/XXX/YYY/")))
-  
+
+    (setq load-path (cons "/XXX/YYY/" load-path))
+
   To do this relative to your home directory:

-    (setq load-path (append load-path (list (expand-file-name "~/YYY/"))))

+
+39:  How do I use an already running Emacs from another window?
+
   The `emacsclient' program is for editing a file using an already running
   Emacs rather than starting up a new Emacs.  It does this by sending a
-  request to the already running Emacs, which must be expecting the request.
-  
+  request to the already running Emacs, which must be expecting the
+  request.
+
   * Setup
-  
+
     Emacs must have executed the `server-start' function for emacsclient to
     work.  This can be done either by a command line option:
-  
+
       emacs -f server-start
-  
+
     or by invoking server-start from the .emacs file:
-  
+
       (if (some conditions are met) (server-start))
-  
+
     When this is done, Emacs starts a subprocess running a program called
     `server'.  `server' creates a Unix domain socket in the user's home
     directory named `.emacs_server'.
-  
+
     To get your news reader, mail reader, etc., to invoke emacsclient, try
     setting the environment variable EDITOR (or sometimes VISUAL) to the
     value `emacsclient'.  You may have to specify the full pathname of the
     emacsclient program instead.  Examples:
-  
+
       # csh commands:
       setenv EDITOR emacsclient
       setenv EDITOR /usr/local/emacs/etc/emacsclient  # using full pathname
-  
+
       # sh command:
-      EDITOR=emacsclient export EDITOR
-  
+      EDITOR=emacsclient ; export EDITOR
+
   * Normal use
-  
+
     When emacsclient is run, it connects to the `.emacs_server' socket and
     passes its command line options to `server'.  When `server' receives
     these requests, it sends this information on the the Emacs process,
     which at the next opportunity will visit the files specified.  (Line
     numbers can be specified just like with Emacs.)  The user will have to
     switch to the Emacs window by hand.  When the user is done editing a
-    file, the user can type "C-x #" to indicate this.  This will switch to
-    another buffer created at the request of emacsclient if there are any.
-    When "C-x #" has been invoked on all of the files that the emacsclient
-    requested to be edited, Emacs will send notification of this to `server'
-    which will pass this on to the emacsclient, which will then exit.
-  
-  NOTE: `emacsclient' and `server' must be running on machines which share
-  the same filesystem for this to work.  The pathnames that emacsclient
-  specifies should be correct for the filesystem that the Emacs process
-  sees.  The Emacs process should not be suspended at the time emacsclient
-  is invoked.  emacsclient should either be invoked from another X window or
-  from a shell window inside Emacs itself.
-  
-  There is an enhanced version of emacsclient/server called `gnuserv' by
-  Andy Norman <ange@hplb.hpl.hp.com> which is available in the Emacs Lisp
-  Archive.  gnuserv uses Internet domain sockets, so it can work across most
-  network connections.  It also supports the execution of arbitrary Emacs
-  Lisp forms and also does not require the client program to wait for
-  completion.  It is available via anonymous FTP (Emacs Lisp Archive:

+40:  How do I make Emacs recognize my compiler's funny error messages?
+
+  The variable compilation-error-regexp-alist helps control how Emacs
+  parses your compiler output.  It is a list of triples of the form:
+
+        (REGEXP FILE-IDX LINE-IDX)
+
+  where REGEXP, FILE-IDX and LINE-IDX are strings.  To help determine what
+  the constituent elements should be, load compile.el and then use
+
+        C-h v compilation-error-regexp-alist RET
+
+  to see the current value.  A good idea is to look at compile.el itself as
+  the comments included for this variable are quite useful -- the regular
+  expressions required for your compiler's output may be very close to one
+  already provided.  Once you have determined the proper regexps, use the

   There are a number of ways to execute (called "evaluate") an Emacs Lisp
   "form":

+
   * If you want it evaluated every time you run Emacs, put it in a file
     named `.emacs' in your home directory.
-  
+
   * You can type the form in the *scratch* buffer, and then type LFD (or
     C-j) after it.  The result of evaluating the form will be inserted in
     the buffer.
-  
+
   * In Emacs-Lisp mode, typing M-C-x evaluates a top-level form before or
     around point.
-  
+
   * Typing "C-x C-e" in any buffer evaluates the Lisp form immediately
     before point and prints its value in the echo area.
-  
+
   * Typing M-ESC or M-x eval-expression allows you to type a Lisp form in
     the minibuffer which will be evaluated.
-  
+
   * You can use M-x load-file to have Emacs evaluate all the Lisp forms in
     a file.  (To do this from Lisp use the function `load' instead.)

 Bugs/Problems
 
-63:  Does Emacs have problems with files larger than 8 megabytes?
-  
+61:  Does Emacs have problems with files larger than 8 megabytes?
+
   Most installed versions of GNU Emacs will use 24-bit signed integers (and
   24-bit pointers) internally.  This limits the file size that Emacs can
   handle to 8,388,607 bytes (2^23 - 1).
-  
+
   Leonard N. Zubkoff <lnz@lucid.com> suggests putting the following two
   lines in src/config.h before compiling Emacs to allow for 26-bit integers
   and pointers (and thus filesizes of up to 33,554,431 bytes):
-  
+
     #define VALBITS 26
     #define GCTYPEBITS 5
-  
+
   WARNING: This method may result in `ILLEGAL DATATYPE' and other random
   errors on some machines.
-  
+
   David Gillespie <daveg@csvax.cs.caltech.edu> gives an explanation of why
   Emacs uses 24 bit integers and pointers:
-  
+
     Emacs is largely written in a dialect of Lisp; Lisp is a freely-typed
     language in the sense that you can put any value of any type into any
     variable, or return it from a function, and so on.  So each value must
-    carry a "tag" along with it identifying what kind of thing it is, eg.,
+    carry a "tag" along with it identifying what kind of thing it is, e.g.,
     integer, pointer to a list, pointer to an editing buffer, and so on.
     Emacs uses standard 32-bit integers for data objects, taking the top 8
-    bits for the tag and the bottom 24 bits for the value.  So integers (and
-    pointers) are somewhat restricted compared to true C integers and
+    bits for the tag and the bottom 24 bits for the value.  So integers
+    (and pointers) are somewhat restricted compared to true C integers and
     pointers.
-  
+
     Emacs uses 8-bit tags because that's a little faster on byte-oriented
     machines, but there are only really enough tags to require 6 bits.

-64:  Why can't Emacs find files in current directory on startup?
-  
-  The PWD bug has been fixed as of GNU Emacs 18.59.  Read on if you are
-  running an older version of Emacs.
-
-  Most likely, you have an environment variable named PWD that is set to a
-  value other than the name of your current directory.  This is most
-  likely caused by using two different shell programs.  `ksh' and (some
-  versions of) `csh' set and maintain the value of the PWD environment
-  variable, but `sh' doesn't.  If you start sh from ksh, change your
-  current directory inside sh, and then start Emacs from inside sh, PWD
-  will have the wrong value but Emacs will use this value.  An invalid
-  setting for PWD can also be a problem if you use X Windows and csh on an
-  RS/6000.  See the etc/OPTIONS file for more details.
-  
-  Perhaps an easier solution is not to use two shells.  The `chsh' program
-  can often be used to change one's default login shell.
-  
-  You may have PWD set for other reasons.  Another possibility is that you
-  are setting default-directory from your .emacs file.

-67:  Why can't I cut from Emacs and paste in other X programs?
-  
-  Emacs stores things you "cut" in the X "cut buffers".  It also pastes from
-  the cut buffer `CUT_BUFFER0'.  This is obsolete.  Most modern X programs
-  now expect to work with "selections" instead of cut buffers, although some
-  like `xterm' will try to use the cut buffers if the selection is null.
-  
-  Emacs 18.58 contains a "fix" that makes xterm work by default.  This
-  "fix" is that Emacs clears the `PRIMARY' selection when it stores
-  something in the cut buffer.  By making the selection null, xterm will
-  then fetch from the cut buffer when you try to paste.
-  
-  For versions of Emacs prior to 18.58, you can make pasting from Emacs into
-  xterm work with the following X resources:
-  
-    ! Solution by Thomas Narten, should work under X11R3 and later GNU
-    ! Emacs only copies to CUT_BUFFER0.  xterm by default wants to paste
-    ! from the PRIMARY selection.
-    XTerm*VT100.Translations: #override \
-        ~Meta <Btn2Up>: insert-selection(CUT_BUFFER0,PRIMARY)
-  
-  You may have problems copying between Emacs and programs other than xterm
-  that won't store cut text in the cut buffers or look in the cut buffers
-  for text to paste (for backwards compatibility with obsolete applications
-  like Emacs :-).  The best workaround is to use the `xcutsel' program as an
-  intermediary.
-  
-  This problem does not exist for Epoch or Lucid Emacs.

+
+64:  Where is the termcap/terminfo entry for terminal type `emacs'?

   TERMCAP environment variable of subshells.  It may help in certain

   for `emacs':
-  
+
     emacs:tc=unknown:
-  
+
   To make a terminfo entry for `emacs', use `tic' or `captoinfo'.  You need
   to generate /usr/lib/terminfo/e/emacs.  It may work to simply copy
   /usr/lib/terminfo/d/dumb to /usr/lib/terminfo/e/emacs.
-  
+
   Having a termcap/terminfo entry will not enable the use of full screen
   programs in shell buffers.  Use M-x terminal-emulator for that instead.
-  
+
   A workaround to the problem of missing termcap/terminfo entries is to
   change terminal type `emacs' to type `dumb' or `unknown' in your shell
   start up file.  `csh' users could put this in their .cshrc files:

+66:  Why can't Emacs talk to certain hosts (or certain hostnames)?

   The problem may be that Emacs is linked with a wimpier version of

+
   On a Sun, this may be because Emacs had to be linked with the static C
   library.  The version of gethostbyname in the static C library may only
-  look in /etc/hosts and the NIS (YP) maps, while the version in the dynamic

-  
-75:  Why does Shell mode lose track of the shell's current directory?
-  
-  Emacs has no way of knowing when the shell actually changes its directory.
-  This is an intrinsic limitation of Unix.  So it tries to guess by
-  recognizing `cd' commands.  If you type `cd' followed by a directory name
-  with a variable reference (`cd $HOME/bin') or with a shell metacharacter
-  (`cd ../lib*'), Emacs will fail to correctly guess the shell's new current

-  Code Directory (see question 88).

-76:  Why doesn't my change to load-path work?
-  
-  If you added a directory name containing a tilde (~) to your load-path,
-  expecting the tilde to be interpreted as your home directory, then you
-  need to do something like this:
-  
-    (setq load-path (mapcar 'expand-file-name load-path))
-  
-77:  Why does the cursor always go to the wrong column when I move up or
- down one line?
-  
-  You have inadvertently typed "C-x C-n" (set-goal-column) which sets the
-  "goal column" to the column where the cursor was.  To undo this type
-  "C-u C-x C-n".
-  
-  If you make this mistake frequently, you might want to unbind or disable
-  this command by doing one of these two:
-  
-    (define-key ctl-x-map "\C-n" nil)
-    (put 'set-goal-column 'disabled t)
-  
-78:  Why does Emacs hang with message `Unknown XMenu error' with X11R4?
-  
-  Many different X errors can produce this message.  Here is the solution
-  to one problem:
-  
-  X11 Release 4 (and later, including OpenWindows) enforces some conditions
-  in the X protocol that were previously allowed to pass unnoticed.  You
-  need to put the X11R4 server into X11R3 bug compatibility mode for Emacs's
-  Xmenu code to work.  You can do this with the command `xset bc'.
-  
-79:  Why doesn't display-time show the load average in the mode line
- anymore?
-  
-  In GNU Emacs 18.56, a change was made in the display-time code.
-  Formerly, in version 18.55, Emacs used a program named `loadst' to
-  notify Emacs of the change in time every minute.  loadst also sent Emacs
-  the system load average if it was installed with sufficient privilege to
-  get that information (or was on a system where no such privilege was
-  needed).  Emacs then displayed this information in the mode line.
-  
-  In version 18.56, this code was changed to use a program named `wakeup'.
-  wakeup doesn't send Emacs any information, it's only purpose is to send
-  Emacs *something* every minute, thus invoking the filter function in
-  Emacs once a minute.  The filter function in Emacs does all the work of
-  finding the time, date, and load average.  However, getting the load
-  average requires the privilege to read kernel memory on most systems.
-  Since giving Emacs this privilege would destroy any security a system
-  might have, for almost everyone this is not an option.  In addition,
-  Emacs does not have the code built into it to get this information on
-  the systems which have special system calls for this purpose, even
-  though loadst had code for this.
-  
-  The solution I use is to get the files lisp/display-time.el and
-  etc/loadst.c from version 18.55 and use those with 18.58.  (I have heard
-  a rumor that loadst disappeared because of the legal action Unipress
-  threatened against IBM.)
-  
-  WARNING:  Do not install Emacs setgid kmem unless you wish to destroy
-  any security your system might have!!!!!!!!!!
-  
-  If you are using Emacs 18.55 or earlier, or already using the solution I
-  describe above, read further:
-  
-  The most likely cause of the problem is that `loadst' can't read the
-  special file /dev/kmem.  To properly install loadst, it should be either
-  setuid to the owner of /dev/kmem, or is should be setgid to the group to
-  which /dev/kmem belongs.  In either case, /dev/kmem should be readable by
-  its owner or its group, respectively.  Assuming the existence of a group
-  named `kmem', here is an example of how to do this:
-  
-    chgrp kmem /dev/kmem
-    chmod g+r /dev/kmem
-    chgrp kmem /usr/local/emacs/etc/loadst
-    chmod g+s /usr/local/emacs/etc/loadst
-  
-  Another possibility is that your version of Unix doesn't have the load
-  average data available in /dev/kmem.  Your version of Unix might have a
-  special system call to retrieve this information (eg., inq_stats under
-  UMAX), and loadst might not have been enhanced to cope with this.
-  
-80:  Why does ispell sometimes ignore the local dictionary?
-  
-  You need to update the version of Ispell to 2.0.02.  (Or you can switch to
-  version 3.0 which is still in beta-testing.)  A patch is available via
-  anonymous FTP:
 
-    /archive.cis.ohio-state.edu:pub/gnu/ispell/patch2.Z
-  
-  You also need to change a line in ispell.el from:
-  
-    (defconst ispell-version "2.0.01") ; Check against output of "ispell -v".
-  
-  to:
-  
-    (defconst ispell-version "2.0.02") ; Check against output of "ispell -v".
-  
-81:  Why does Ispell treat each line as a single word?
-  
-  Ispell expects to get its input one word per line.  The ispell filter,
-  which is specified by the variables ispell-filter-hook and
-  ispell-filter-hook-args, should output at most one word per line.
-  
-82:  Are there any security risks in GNU Emacs?
-  
+71:  Why does shell mode lose track of the shell's current directory?
+
+  Emacs has no way of knowing when the shell actually changes its
+  directory.  This is an intrinsic limitation of Unix.  So it tries to
+  guess by recognizing `cd' commands.  If you type `cd' followed by a
+  directory name with a variable reference (`cd $HOME/bin') or with a shell
+  metacharacter (`cd ../lib*'), Emacs will fail to correctly guess the
+  shell's new current directory.  A huge variety of fixes and enhancements
+  to shell mode for this problem have been written to handle this problem.
+  Check the Lisp Code Directory (see question 77).
+
+  You can tell Emacs the shell's current directory with the command "M-x
+  dirs".

   * the `movemail' incident (No, this is not a risk.)
-  
-    Cliff Stoll in his book `The Cuckoo's Egg' describes this in chapter 4.
-    The site at LBL had installed the `etc/movemail' program setuid root.
-    Since `movemail' had not been designed for this situation, a security
-    hole was created and users could get root privileges.
-  
-    `movemail' has since been changed so that even if it is installed setuid
-    root this security hole will not be a result.
-  
-    I have heard unverified reports that the Internet worm took advantage of
-    this configuration problem.
-  
+
+    In his book "The Cuckoo's Egg," Cliff Stoll describes this in chapter
+    4.  The site at LBL had installed the `etc/movemail' program setuid
+    root.  (As of version 19, movemail is in your architecture-specific
+    directory; type "C-h v directory RET" to see what it is.)  Since
+    `movemail' had not been designed for this situation, a security hole
+    was created and users could get root privileges.
+
+    `movemail' has since been changed so that even if it is installed
+    setuid root this security hole will not be a result.
+

+    of this configuration problem.
+
   * the file-local-variable feature (Yes, a risk, but easy to change.)
-  
+
     There is an Emacs feature that allows the setting of local values for
-    variables when editing a file by including specially formatted text near
-    the end of the file.  This feature also includes the ability to have
-    arbitrary Emacs Lisp code evaluated when the file is visited.
+    variables when editing a file by including specially formatted text
+    near the end of the file.  This feature also includes the ability to
+    have arbitrary Emacs Lisp code evaluated when the file is visited.
     Obviously, there is a potential for Trojan horses to exploit this
     feature.
-  
+
     If you set the variable inhibit-local-variables to a non-nil value,
     Emacs will display the special local variable settings of a file that
     you visit and ask you if you really want them.  This variable is not
     mentioned in the manual.
-  
+
     It is wise to do this in lisp/site-init.el before building Emacs:
-  
+
       (setq inhibit-local-variables t)
-  
+
     If Emacs has already been built, the expression can be put in
-    lisp/default.el instead, or an individual can put it in their own .emacs
-    file.
-  
-    The ability to exploit this feature by sending e-mail to an RMAIL user
+    lisp/default.el instead, or an individual can put it in their own
+    .emacs file.
+
+    The ability to exploit this feature by sending e-mail to an Rmail user
     was fixed sometime after Emacs 18.52.  However, any new package that
     uses find-file or find-file-noselect has to be careful about this.
-  
-    For more information, see `File Variables' in the online manual (which,
-    incidentally, does not describe how to disable the feature).
-  
-    There is a new variable in Emacs 18.58 named ignore-local-eval which
-    turns out to be useless as currently implemented.  Ignore it.
-  
+
+    For more information, see `File Variables' in the on-line manual
+    (which, incidentally, does not describe how to disable the feature).
+
   * synthetic X events (Yes, a risk, use MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 or better.)
-  
+
     Emacs accepts synthetic X events generated by the SendEvent request as
     though they were regular events.  As a result, if you are using the
     trivial host-based authentication, other users who can open X
     connections to your X workstation can make your Emacs process do
     anything, including run other processes with your privileges.
-  
+
     The only fix for this is to prevent other users from being able to open
     X connections.  The standard way to prevent this is to use a real
     authentication mechanism, such as MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1.  If using the
     `xauth' program has any effect, then you are probably using
     MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1.  Your site may be using a superior authentication
     method; ask your system administrator.
-  
+
     If real authentication is not a possibility, you may be satisfied by
     just allowing hosts access for brief intervals while you start your X
     programs, then removing the access.  This reduces the risk somewhat by
-    narrowing the time window when hostile users would have access, but DOES
-    NOT ELIMINATE THE RISK.
-  
-    Lucid GNU Emacs does not accept synthetic X events unless you set a
-    variable.
-  
-  * autosave file permissions (Yes, a risk, hard to work around.)
-  
-    The file permissions for autosave files are determined solely by the
-    Emacs process's `umask' value.  The permissions of the file being
-    autosaved are not used.  The easiest workaround is to keep sensitive
-    files in protected directories.  Sebastian Kremer has written an
-    enhanced version of the autosave file name picking code that can avoid
-    this problem by keeping autosave files in a protected directory.  {FTP
-    information please?}  This problem will be fixed in Emacs 19.
-  
+    narrowing the time window when hostile users would have access, but
+    DOES NOT ELIMINATE THE RISK.

-85:  Why does linking Emacs with -lX11 fail?
-  
+
+75:  Why does linking Emacs with -lX11 fail?
+
   Emacs needs to be linked with the static version of the X11 library,
   libX11.a.  This may be missing.
-  
+
   Under OpenWindows, you may need to use `add_services' to add the
   `OpenWindows Programmers' optional software category from the CD-ROM.
-  
-  Under HP-UX 8.0, you may need to run `update' again to load the
-  X11-PRG `fileset'.  This may be missing even if you specified `all
-  filesets' the first time.  If libcurses.a is missing, you may need to load
-  the `Berkeley Development Option' {???}.

   If you are building the MIT X11 sources, you may need to modify your
   `site.cf' file to get static versions of the libraries.  (Info from David
   Zuhn <zoo@cygnus.com>.)
-  
+
   Other systems may have similar problems.  You can always define

-  
-  I had hoped this question would go away after Emacs 18.57 was released,

-  
-  This is a result of the SunOS localtime/tzsetwall malloc bug, which was

+
+  This list is file LCD-datafile.Z in the Emacs Lisp Archive (see the next

-  You can search through this list to find if someone has written something

-  
-89:  Where can I get GNU Emacs Lisp packages that don't come with Emacs?
-  
   First, check the Lisp Code Directory to find the name of the package you
-  are looking for.  (See question 88).  Then check local archives and
-  the Emacs Lisp Archive to find a copy of the relevant files.  Then, if
-  you still haven't found it, you can send e-mail to the author asking for
-  a copy.
-  
-  You can access the Emacs Lisp Archive via anonymous FTP:
-  
-    /archive.cis.ohio-state.edu:/pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive/
-  
-  Fetch the file README first.
-  
-  NOTE: The archive maintainers do not have time to answer individual
-  requests for packages or the list of packages in the archive.  If you
-  cannot use FTP or UUCP to access the archive yourself, try to find a
-  friend who can, but please don't ask the maintainers.
-  
-  NOTE: Any files with names ending in `.Z' are compressed, and you should
-  use `binary' mode in FTP to retrieve them.  You should also use binary
-  mode whenever you retrieve any files with names ending in `.elc'.
-  
-90:  How do I submit code to the Emacs Lisp Archive?
-  
-  Submissions should be mailed to elisp-archive@cis.ohio-state.edu.  The
-  lispdir.el package has a function named submit-lcd-entry which will help
-  you with this.  Mail messages (submissions) are automatically saved and
-  periodically archived.  Urgent mail may be sent directly to Dave Sill
-  <de5@ornl.gov> or Dave Brennan <brennan@hal.com> or should contain the
-  string `urgent' in the subject.  The incoming ftp directory is no longer
-  available at the request of Ohio State.  {Is this still true?}
-  
-  However, if someone has a submission with multiple files (which would be
-  archived as a tar file) or binary files, then FTP transfer is preferred
-  and can be arranged via an anonymous FTP site.  This is faster than
-  uudecoding, unsharing, etc., and re-packaging files.
-  
-  Before submitting anything, please read the file guidelines.Z, which is
-  available in the archive.  Whenever possible, submissions should contain a
-  complete LCD entry since this helps reduce administrative overhead for the
-  maintainers.  You can include an entry in this format:
-  
-    ;; LCD Archive Entry:
-    ;; package name|author's name|email address
-    ;; |description
-    ;; |date|version|archive path
-  
-  For example:
-  
-    ;; LCD Archive Entry:
-    ;; tex-complete|Sebastian Kremer|sk@thp.Uni-Koeln.DE
-    ;; |Minibuffer name completion for editing [La]TeX.
-    ;; |91-03-26|$Revision: 1.5 $|~/packages/tex-complete.el.Z              !
-  
-  Dave Brennan has software which automatically looks for data in this
-  format.  The format is fairly flexible.  The entry ends when a line is
-  reached with a different prefix or the seventh field terminator is
-  seen.
-  
-  If you are submitting a multi-file submission you should include a file
-  named "LCD-entry" which contains the archive entry, instead of placing
-  it in one or more of the individual files.
-  
-91:  Where can I get other up-to-date GNU stuff?

+          find a friend who can, but please don't ask the maintainers.
+
+        * Any files with names ending in `.Z', `.z', or `.gz' are
+          compressed, so you should use `binary' mode in FTP to retrieve
+          them.  You should also use binary mode whenever you retrieve any
+          files with names ending in `.elc'.
+
+79:  How do I submit code to the Emacs Lisp Archive?
+
+  Guidelines and procedures for submission to the archive can be found in
+  the file GUIDELINES in the archive directory (see question 78).  It
+  covers documentation, copyrights, packaging, submission, and the Lisp
+  Code Directory Record.  Anonymous FTP uploads are not permitted.
+  Instead, all submissions are mailed to elisp-archive@cis.ohio-state.edu.
+  The lispdir.el package has a function named submit-lcd-entry which will
+  help you with this.
+
+80:  Where can I get other up-to-date GNU stuff?
+
+  The most up-to-date official GNU stuff is normally kept on
+  prep.ai.mit.edu and is available for anonymous FTP in the pub/gnu
+  directory.  Read the files etc/DISTRIB and etc/FTP for more information
+  (see question 20 for retrieval instructions).
+
   The following sites are all mirror images of the GNU distribution area:
-  
-    /prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/
+
+    /col.hp.com:mirrors/gnu/
     /ftp.uu.net:packages/gnu/
-    /src.doc.ic.ac.uk:gnu/ (available via FTP, NIFTP, FTAM)
     /ftp.win.tue.nl:pub/gnu/
-    /utsun.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp:ftpsync/prep/
+    /gatekeeper.dec.com:pub/GNU/
     /nic.funet.fi:pub/gnu/
-  
+    /src.doc.ic.ac.uk:gnu/ (available via FTP, NIFTP, FTAM)
+    /utsun.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp:ftpsync/prep/
+    /wuarchive.wustl.edu:systems/gnu/
+
   The directory at ftp.uu.net is a mirror of prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu,
-  except that files larger than 1 megabyte {right?} are automatically
-  split into multiple parts.  If you have trouble transferring large
-  files, you should try here.  A file normally named `XXX' is split into
-  files XXX-split/part[0-9][0-9], and there will be a file named
-  XXX-split/README which contains the list of parts (especially helpful
-  when FTP-ing by e-mail), their checksums, and reassembly instructions.
-  Some of the other mirror sites may have the same property.  {Can someone
-  check this out?  Thanks!}

-92:  Where can I get an Emacs with better mouse and X window support?
-  
-  Emacs 18 has some limited X Window System support, but there are
-  problems.  Emacs 19 will have amazing mouse and window support.  Right
-  now, there are Epoch which is derived from GNU Emacs 18.58 and Lucid GNU
-  Emacs which is derived from an early unreleased version of GNU Emacs 19,
-  both of which have greatly improved mouse and window support.  See
-  questions 120 and 121.
-  
-  The HP unofficial GNU Emacs also has nice mouse support.  See question
-  95.
-  
-  There are numerous Emacs Lisp packages that have been written to extend
-  Emacs 18's mouse handling capabilities.  Some of these packages also have
-  patches to the C code to provide enhanced capabilities.  Look up `mouse'
-  in the Lisp Code Directory (see question 88).
-  
-  There is a package called BAM (Born Again Menus) which provides menus for
-  GNU Emacs via an external C program.  It does not provide mouse support in
-  the Emacs window such as scrollbars, cut-and-paste, etc.
-  
-  NOTE: Epoch only works with the X Window System; it works on ordinary
-  terminals by invoking regular GNU Emacs.  Lucid Emacs does not currently
-  work on ordinary terminals, although there are plans to fix this.
-  
-93:  What is the difference between GNU Emacs and Epoch?
-  
-  Marc Andreessen <marca@ncsa.uiuc.edu> writes:
-  
-    Epoch is GNU Emacs on steroids: an adaptation of GNU Emacs with lots of
-    additional support for features made possible by the X11 windowing
-    system.  These features include multiple editing windows, arbitrary
-    colors and fonts (fixed-width and proportional), selectable zones per
-    buffer with arbitrary display styles (font, color, underline, stipple,
-    pixmap), an optional separate minibuffer window, improved keyboard and
-    mouse handling, full 8-bit character set support, and more.
-  
-94:  What is the difference between GNU Emacs and Lucid GNU Emacs?
-  
-  This information is condensed from the release notice:
-  
-    Lucid GNU Emacs is based on an early version of GNU Emacs version 19
-    with many enhancements.  It currently requires X Windows to run.  For
-    information on where to get Lucid GNU Emacs see 121.  X Windows support
-    is greatly enhanced over GNU Emacs version 18, including support for
-    multiple X Windows (a.k.a. screens in Emacs), Zmacs/Lispm style region
-    highlighting, a customizable, Motif-like menubar, more powerful keymap
-    support (allowing different actions to be associated with Backspace,
-    Control-h, etc.), flexible text attribute (e.g. font, color) support on
-    regional and screen-local basis through X resources and/or lisp, and
-    support for the X11 selection mechanism.  Some other features include
-    run-time computation of the load-path, support for floating point
-    numbers, native timer support, and sound file support on Sun
-    SPARCstations.  To build Lucid GNU Emacs, an ANSI C compiler (e.g. gcc)
-    is required.
-  
-95:  Where can I get the "unofficial HP GNU Emacs"?
-  
-  The unofficial HP GNU Emacs is available via anonymous FTP:
-  
-    /ee.utah.edu:HUGE/  (PLEASE FTP DURING NON-WORK HOURS!!!)
-  
-  and takes about 35 megabytes of disk space to build.  It is useful for
-  non-HP machines, but some of the added features will only work under
-  HP-UX.
-  
-  You will need to get patches to work with HP-UX 8.0 or on 700 series
-  machines via e-mail from Darryl Okahata <darrylo@sr.hp.com>.
-  
-96:  Where can I get Emacs for my PC running MS-DOS?
-  
-  * Demacs
-  
-    For 386 or 486 PCs running MS-DOS, there is a version of GNU Emacs
-    called Demacs.  To get Demacs see question 122.
-  
-    From the announcement message:
-  
-      Demacs is almost a full set of GNU Emacs but does not support some
-      features: asynchronous process, locking a file, etc.
-  
-      Demacs provides following DOS specific features:
-  
-        * File type: text or binary file translation.
-        * "8-bit clean" display mode.
-        * 8086 software interrupt call by int86 lisp function.
-        * Machine specific features such as function key support.
-        * File name completion with drive name.
-        * Child process (suspend-emacs, call-process).
-        * Enhanced dired mode which can work without 'ls.exe'.
-  
-      To our regret `shell-mode' does not work, but `compile' command works
-      properly.
-  
-    Demacs was developed using an MS-DOS version of gcc called djgpp by
-    D. J. Delorie <dj@ctron.com> which can compile and run large programs
-    under MS-DOS, but not under MS Windows.  Demacs was derived from Nemacs
-    rather than straight from GNU Emacs.
-  
-  There are a variety of other Emacses for MS-DOS including among them the
-  following.
-  
-  * Freemacs
-  
-    Russ Nelson <nelson@sun.soe.clarkson.edu>, the author, describes
-    Freemacs:
-  
-      * Freemacs is free, and it was designed from the start to be
-        programmable.
-      * Freemacs is the only IBM-PC editor that tries to be like GNU Emacs.
-      * Freemacs can only edit files less than 64K in length.
-      * Freemacs doesn't have undo.
-  
-    Carl Witty <cwitty@cs.stanford.edu> reviews Freemacs:
-  
-      Better is Freemacs, which follows the tradition of ITS and GNU Emacs
-      by having an full, turing-complete extension language which is
-      incompatible with everything else.  In fact, it's even closer to ITS
-      Emacs than GNU Emacs is, because Mint (Freemacs' extension language)
-      is absolutely illegible without weeks of study, much like TECO.
-  
-    To get Freemacs see question 123.
-  
-  * MicroEmacs
-  
-    MicroEmacs is a descendant of Microemacs {originally by Dave Conroy?}.
-    It is programmable in a BASIC-like language.  Many of the keybindings
-    are different from GNU Emacs.  The author is Daniel Lawrence             -
-    <dan@mdbs.uucp, mdbs!dan@ee.ecn.purdue.edu>.  The latest version is 3.12 !
-    and it is available via anonymous FTP:
-  
-      /midas.mgmt.purdue.edu:dist/uemacs312/   (outside business hours)      !
-                                                                             !
-    Version 3.12 includes Windows and Windows NT versions and a DOS          !
-    protected mode (DMPI) version.                                           !

+
+81:  What is the difference between Emacs and Epoch?
+
+  Epoch was a modified version of GNU Emacs.  It is currently being merged
+  into XEmacs (formerly "Lucid Emacs"), and the Epoch redisplay, now
+  being rewritten, is slated to be merged into Emacs when the rewrite is done.
+
+82:  What is the difference between Emacs and XEmacs (formerly "Lucid
+     Emacs")? 
+
+   XEmacs is a modified version of GNU Emacs.
+
+   A comparison between the two versions, written by the XEmacs
+   maintainers, had been included here.  Richard Stallman removed it
+   from this copy of the FAQ because it was unfair.  It was (1)
+   one-sided, listing only advantages of XEmacs and not advantages of
+   the principal version of Emacs, (2) biased, involving opinions the
+   FSF doesn't share, and (3) out of date, listing as advantages of
+   XEmacs features which in fact both versions have.
+
+83:  Where can I get Emacs for my PC running MS-DOS?
+
+  Recent releases of GNU Emacs 19 should compile right out of the box on
+  PCs with a 386 or better, running MS-DOS 3.0 or later. You will need the
+  following:
+   
+  Compiler: djgpp version 1,11 maint 4 or later.  You can get the latest
+            version by grabbing everything in the following directory
+            (using anonymous ftp):
+
+            oak.oakland.edu:pub/msdos/djdpp  
+
+  Tar:  One DOS version of tar is available via anonymous ftp from
+
+        ftp.urc.tue.nl:pub/unixtools/dos 
+
+        However, not all DOS versions of tar work equally well, so you
+        might have to try others if this one gives you trouble.
+
+  Utilities: chmod, make, mv, sed, rm.  
+
+             All of these utilities are available via anonymous ftp from
+             the site
+
+             ftp.iro.umontreal.ca:pub/Internet/gnuish
+
+             You should grab the files futil4ax.zoo (contains chmod.exe,
+             mv.exe, and rm.exe), sed106ax.zoo (contains sed.exe), and
+             gzip07ax.zoo (contains gzip.exe).
+
+  The file etc/MSDOS contains some information on the differences between
+  the Unix and MS-DOS versions of GNU Emacs.
+
+  If you would prefer not to compile Emacs by yourself, you can get
+  binaries for Emacs 19.24 via anonymous ftp from the following two sites:
+
+      ftp.demon.co.uk:pub/ibmpc/editors/emacs19.24
+      ftp.imada.ou.dk:pub/mirrors/msdos/emacs-19.24
+
+  You might also be interested in Demacs, which runs under MS-DOS (*not*
+  Microsoft Windows; see question 84) on 386- and 486-based PCs.  Demacs is
+  a port of Nemacs (see question 126), rather than a straight port of GNU
+  Emacs 18 or 19.
+
+  Demacs was developed using an MS-DOS version of gcc called djgpp by
+  D. J. Delorie <dj@ctron.com> which can compile and run large programs
+  under MS-DOS, but not under MS Windows.  Demacs was derived from Nemacs
+  rather than straight from GNU Emacs.  You can get the most recent version
+  of Demacs via anonymous ftp from ftp.sigmath.osaka-u.ac.jp in
+  pub/Msdos/Demacs/*.
+
+  For a list of other MS-DOS implementations of Emacs (and Emacs
+  look-alikes), consult the list of "Emacs implementations and literature,"
+  available via anonymous ftp from rtfm.mit.edu in pub/usenet/comp.emacs.
+
+84:  Where can I get Emacs for my PC running Microsoft Windows?
+
+  There are currently two ports of Emacs that runs under Microsoft Windows:
+
+  * Oemacs 
+
+    Current version of Oemacs4.1 is based on Emacs-19.19 and runs in either
+    MS-DOS or Microsoft Windows.  There is rumor that the author Darryl
+    Okahata <darrylo@sr.hp.com> would not update unless there is
+    demonstrated interest.  It is nearly a full porting of GNU Emacs except
+    that shell-mode does not work due to the limitation of MS-DOS.
+    Anonymous ftp information:
+
+      /oak.oakland.edu:pub/msdos/oemacs/
+
+  * The other uses a proprietary X Windows emulator and therefore
+    the FSF does not think it deserves publicity.
+
+85:  Where can I get Emacs for my PC running OS/2?
+
+  Emacs 19.27 is ported for emx on OS/2 2.0 or 2.1.  
+
+  Anonymous FTP info:
+
+    hobbes.nmsu.edu:os2/2_x/unix/emacs27
+
+86:  Where can I get Emacs for my Atari ST?
+
+    (does anyone know?)
+
+87:  Where can I get Emacs for my Amiga?
+
+  Amiga software is available through Aminet, a set of interconnected FTP
+  sites and other file accessing services for Amiga software.  The primary
+  sites for Aminet are ftp.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4) and ftp.cdrom.com
+  (192.153.46.2).  In the directory pub/aminet/util/gnu, there are
+
+        a1.26-emacs-bin.lha -- Amiga GNU Emacs V1.26, binaries
+        a1.26-emacs-src.lha -- Amiga GNU Emacs V1.26, sources
+
+  There are also quite a few Emacs related files/programs.  Please search
+  the index of Aminet.
+
+  We have no access to an Amiga, so please send in your experience and
+  comments on the implementation.

+88:  Where can I get Emacs for my Apple computer?
 
-  * JOVE
-  
-    Another Emacs for small machines is JOVE (Jonathan's Own Version of
-    Emacs).  The latest official version is 4.14.  There appears to be a
-    newer version.  People rumored to be working on JOVE include Mark Moraes

-      /cs.toronto.edu:/pub/moraes/jove4.14.7.tar.Z
-  
-  * MG
-  
-    MG is another descendant of Microemacs.  MG used to stand for
-    MicroGNUEmacs, but now just stands for MG.  The look-and-feel of MG is
-    intended to be close to that of GNU Emacs.  It is rumored that MG can
-    not correctly edit files larger than memory.  The current version is
-    rumored to be 2.  There is a version 3 in beta which works on the Amiga.
-    It is also available via anonymous FTP:

-  
-  Johan Vromans <jv@mh.nl> writes:
-  
-    Getting Emacs to run on VMS with DECwindows requires a number of changes

-104: Where can I get modes for Lex, Yacc/Bison, Bourne Shell, Csh, C++,
- Objective C, Pascal, Awk?
-  
-  As usual, look in the Lisp Code Directory (see question 88).  For C++,
-  if you use lisp-dir-apropos, you must specify the pattern like this:
-  
+
+89:  Where do I get Emacs that runs on VMS under DECwindows?
+
+  Version 19.27 has a VMS directory containing installation instructions, a
+  makefile, and various .com files.  But according to Richard Levitte
+  <levitte@e.kth.se>, it does not run out of the box.  Even if it does, the
+  VMSNOTES indicates that the Emacs on VMS is going to have much more
+  limited functionality.  Richard Levitte has a patched 19.22 that
+  supposedly has subprocess and networking functionality just as on Unix,
+  with virtually the same lisp interface.  The source is available via
+  anonymous ftp at
+
+    ftp.vms.stacken.kth.se:GNU-VMS/Beta/EMACS-19_22-********.TAR-GZ
+
+  where ******** is the release date of the kit.  You should also read
+  http://www.e.kth.se/elev/levitte/gnu/emacs.html for more information.
+
+90:  Where can I get modes for Lex, Yacc/Bison, Bourne shell, Csh, C++,
+     Objective C, Pascal, and Awk?
+
+  Most of these modes are now available in standard Emacs distribution.  To
+  get additional modes, look in the Lisp Code Directory (see question 77).
+  For C++, if you use lisp-dir-apropos, you must specify the pattern like
+  this:
+
     M-x lisp-dir-apropos RET c\+\+ RET
-  
-105: What is the IP address of XXX.YYY.ZZZ?
-  
+
+  Note that Barry Warsaw's cc-mode now works for C, C++, and Objective-C
+  code.  You can get the latest version (4.85, as of this writing) from the
+  Emacs Lisp Archive.
+
+91:  What is the IP address of XXX.YYY.ZZZ?
+
   If you are at a site with a deficient nameserver, you may need to know
   the IP address of a host to FTP files from it.  You can get this
   information in two ways:
-  
+
   * By telnet:
-  
+
       telnet nic.ddn.mil hostnames (or `telnet 192.112.36.5 101')
-      hname XXX.YYY.ZZZ
-  
+      @ whois
+      Whois: host XXX.YYY.ZZZ

   * By e-mail:
-

       To: service@nic.ddn.mil
       Subject: host XXX.YYY.ZZZ
            or: whois XXX.YYY.ZZZ

-                    GNU Emacs FAQ: Keybindings/Output
+Changing Key Bindings and Handling Key Binding Problems
 
-If you are viewing this text in a GNU Emacs Buffer, you can type "M-2 C-x $" to
-get an overview of just the questions.  Then, when you want to look at the text
-of the answers, just type "C-x $".
+104: How do I bind keys (including function keys) to commands?
 
-To search for a question numbered XXX, type "M-C-s ^XXX:", followed by a C-r if
-that doesn't work, then type ESC to end the search.
+  Keys can be bound to commands either interactively or by predefinition
+  (e.g. in the .emacs file).  To interactively bind keys for all modes,
+  type `M-x global-set-key RET KEY CMD RET'; for the current major mode
+  only, type `M-x local-set-key RET KEY CMD RET' (see the Emacs on-line
+  documentation for further details).
 
-A `+' in the 78th column means something was inserted on the line.  A `-' means
-something was deleted and a `!' means some combination of insertions and
-deletions occurred.
+  To bind keys on starting Emacs or on starting any given mode, you can use
+  the following "trick."  First bind the key interactively, then
+  immediately afterwards type `C-x ESC ESC C-a C-k C-g'.  Now, the command
+  needed to bind the key is in the kill ring and can be yanked into the
+  .emacs file.  If the key binding is global, no changes to the command are
+  required.  For example,
 
-Full instructions for getting the latest FAQ are in question 22.  Also see the
-`Introduction to news.answers' posting in the `news.answers' newsgroup, or send
-e-mail to `mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu' with `help' on a body line, or use FTP,
-WAIS, or Prospero to rtfm.mit.edu.
+             (global-set-key (quote [f1]) (quote help-for-help))
 
+  can be place directly into the .emacs file.  If the key binding is local,
+  the command is used in conjunction with the `add-hook' command.  For
+  example, in tex-mode, a local binding might be
 
+        (add-hook 'tex-mode-hook
+          (function (lambda ()
+            (local-set-key (quote [f1]) (quote help-for-help))))
 
-Changing Key Bindings and Handling Key Binding Problems
+  NOTE: * Control characters in key sequence position of the form yanked
+          from the kill ring are given in their graphic form - i.e. CTRL is
+          shown as `^', TAB as a set of spaces (usually 8), etc.  You may
+          want to convert these into their vector or string forms.
+
+        * If some prefix key of the character sequence to be bound is
+          already bound as a complete key, then you must unbind it before
+          the new binding.  For example, if `ESC {' is previously bound:
+
+                    (global-unset-key [?\e ?{])   ;;   or
+                     (local-unset-key [?\e ?{])
+
+        * Aside from commands and "lambda lists," a vector or string also
+          can be bound to a key and thus treated as a macro.  For example:
+
+           (global-set-key [f10] [?\C-x?\e?\e?\C-a?\C-k?\C-g])  ;;  or
+           (global-set-key [f10] "\C-x\e\e\C-a\C-k\C-g")
+
+  See `Key Bindings' in the Emacs on-line documentation for further
+  details.
+
+105: Why does Emacs say `Key sequence XXX uses invalid prefix characters'?
+
+  Usually one of two things has happened.  In one case, the control
+  character in the key sequence has been misspecified (e.g. `C-f' used
+  instead of `\C-f' within a Lisp expression).  In the other case, a
+  "prefix key" in the keystroke sequence you were trying to bind was
+  already bound as a "complete key."  Historically, the `ESC [' prefix was
+  usually the problem, in which case you should evaluate either of these
+  forms before attempting to bind the key sequence:
+
+                     (global-unset-key [?\e ?[])  ;;  or
+                     (global-unset-key "\e[")
+
+106: Why doesn't this [terminal or window-system setup] code work in my
+     .emacs file, but it works just fine after Emacs starts up?
+
+  During startup, Emacs initializes itself according to a given code/file
+  order.  If some of the code executed in your .emacs file needs to be
+  postponed until the initial terminal or window-system setup code has been
+  executed but is not, then you will experience this problem (this
+  code/file execution order is not enforced after startup).
+
+  To postpone the execution of Emacs Lisp code until after terminal or
+  window-system setup, treat the code as a "lambda list" and set the value
+  of either the `term-setup-hook' or `window-setup-hook' variable to this
+  "lambda function."  For example,
 
-125: How do I bind keys (including function keys) to commands?
-  
-  1. Find out what character sequence is generated by the keystroke sequence
-     you wish to bind to a command.  See question 129 for how to do this.
-     Keep in mind that the character sequences generated by a keystroke
-     sequence varies from one terminal to another.  You may also get
-     different results depending on what type of machine you are running on
-     (see question 128).  For example, these keystrokes may generate these
-     character sequences:
-  
-       F1        ---> ESC [ 2 2 4 z
-       Shift-R10 ---> ESC O t
-       L7        ---> ESC [ 3 1 ~
-       Remove    ---> C-@
-  
-  2. Figure out what the Emacs Lisp syntax is for this character sequence.
-     Inside an Emacs Lisp string, RET, LFD, DEL, ESC, SPC, and TAB are
-     specified with `\r', `\n', `\C-?', `\e', ` ', and `\t'.  C-x is
-     specified by `\C-x'.  M-x is specified the same was as "ESC x".
-     (Control characters may also be specified as themselves, but I don't
-     recommend it.)  An Emacs Lisp string begins and ends with the double
-     quote character, `"'.  Here are some examples:
-  
-       ESC [ D       ---> "\e[D"
-       ESC [ 2 2 7 z ---> "\e[227z"
-       ESC [ 1 8 ~   ---> "\e[18~"
-       C-M-r         ---> "\e\C-r"
-  
-  3. If some prefix of the character sequence is already bound, you must
-     unbind it by binding it to `nil'.  For example:
-  
-       (global-set-key "\e[" nil)
-  
-  4. Pick a command to bind your key sequence to.  A command can be a
-     "symbol" with a function definition, or a "lambda list", or a string
-     (which is treated as a macro).  For example:
-  
-       (global-set-key "\e[D" 'backward-char)
-       (global-set-key "\e[227~" "\exgoto-line\r") ; macro
-  
-  See `Key Bindings' and `Rebinding' in the online manual.
-  
-  In Emacs 19 (including Lucid Emacs), you can bind function key F24 like
-  this:
-  
-    (global-set-key 'f24 'some-command)
-  
-126: Why does Emacs say `Key sequence XXX uses invalid prefix characters'?
-  
-  A prefix of the character sequence you were trying to bind was already
-  bound.  Usually, the sequence is "ESC [", in which case you should
-  evaluate this form first:
-  
-    (define-key esc-map "[" nil)
-  
-  NOTE: By default, "ESC [" is bound to backward-paragraph, and if you do
-  this you will lose this key binding.  For most people, this is not a
-  problem.
-  
-  See question 125.
-  
-127: Why doesn't this [terminal or window-system setup] code work in my
- .emacs file, but it works just fine after Emacs starts up?
-  
-  This is because you're trying to do something in your .emacs file that
-  needs to be postponed until after the terminal/window-system setup code
-  is loaded.  This is a result of the order in which things are done
-  during the startup of Emacs.  For more details see question 135.
-  
-  In order to postpone the execution of Emacs Lisp code until after the
-  terminal/window-system setup, set the value of the variable
-  term-setup-hook or window-setup-hook to be a function which does what
-  you want.
-  
-  See etc/OPTIONS for a complete explanation of what Emacs does every time
-  it is started.
-  
-  Here is a simple example of how to set term-setup-hook:
-  
     (setq term-setup-hook
-          (function
-           (lambda ()
-             (cond ((string-match "\\`vt220" (or (getenv "TERM") ""))
-                    ;; Make vt220's "Do" key behave like M-x:
-                    (define-key CSI-map "29~" 'execute-extended-command))
-                   ))))
-  
-128: How do I use function keys under X Windows?
-  
-  This depends on whether you are running Emacs inside a terminal emulator
-  window, or whether you are allowing Emacs to create its own X window.
-  You can tell which you are doing by noticing whether Emacs creates a new
-  window when you start it.
-  
-  If you are running Emacs inside a terminal emulator window, then it
-  behaves exactly as it does on any other tty.  In this case, for function
-  keys to be useful, they must generate character sequences that are sent
-  to the programs running inside the window as input.  The `xterm' program
-  has two different sets of character sequences that it generates when
-  function keys are pressed, depending on the sunFunctionKeys X resource
-  and the -sf and +sf command line options.  (To find out what these key
-  sequences are, see question 129.)  In addition, with xterm,
-  you can override what key sequence a specific function key (or any other
-  key) will generate with the `translations' resource.  This, for example:
-  
-    XTerm.VT100.Translations: #override \
-      <KeyPress>F1: string(0x1b) string("[xyzzy")
-  
-  makes the function key F1 generate the character sequence "ESC [xyzzy".
-  
-  On the other hand, if Emacs is managing its own X window, the following
-  description applies.  Emacs receives `KeyPress' events from the X server
-  when a key is pressed while the keyboard focus is in its window.  The
-  KeyPress event contains an X "keysym" code, which is simply an arbitrary
-  number corresponding to the name of the keysym, and information on which
-  "modifiers" such as `control' and `shift' are active.  For example, the
-  `Tab' keysym is 0xff09.  (Generally, a key on the keyboard will generate a
-  keysym whose name is the same as the label on the key, ie. the `Tab' key
-  will normally generate the `Tab' keysym.  This can be changed with the
-  xmodmap program.)  Emacs recognizes all the keysyms that correspond to
-  standard ASCII characters and internally uses the ASCII character instead.
-  
-  (WARNING: I am about to describe a gross, disgusting hack to you, have
-  your barf bag ready.)
-  
-  When Emacs receives the X keysym of one of the arrow keys, it behaves
-  the same as if it had received a letter key with the control modifier
-  down as follows (this is hard-coded):
-  
-    Up    becomes C-p
-    Down  becomes C-n
-    Right becomes C-f
-    Left  becomes C-b
-  
-  The way Emacs treats other keysyms depends on what kind of machine it was
-  compiled on.  The type of the display machine is irrelevant!  Function
-  keys are mapped internally to escape sequences, while other keys are
-  completely ignored.
-  
-  1. If compiled on a Sun, Emacs recognizes these X keysyms that
-     are normally on a Sun keyboard:
-  
-       F1 through F9
-       L1 through L10 (same as F11 through F20)
-       R1 through R15 (same as F21 through F35)
-         (The keys labelled R8, R10, R12, and R14 usually are mapped to the
-          X keysyms Up, Left, Right, and Down.)
-       Break (the `Alternate' key is given this keysym)
-  
-     These keys work like Sun function keys.  When Emacs receives the
-     keysym, it will internally use character sequences that look like "ESC
-     [ ### z", where ### is replaced by a number.  The character sequences
-     are identical to those generated by Sun's keyboard under SunView.  Any
-     function key not listed above generates "ESC [ - 1 z".
-  
-     In order to use these key sequences, they should be bound to commands
-     using the standard key binding methods, just as if Emacs were running
-     on a regular terminal.
-  
-     WARNING: F11 and L1 are the same keysym in X, as are F12 and L2, etc.
-     {Yes, this is stupid.  Complain to the X consortium.}
-  
-  2. If not compiled on a Sun, the function keys will appear to Emacs in a
-     way remarkably similar to the keys of a DEC LK201 keyboard (used on
-     some VT series terminals).  These X keysyms will be recognized:
-  
-       F1 through F20
-       Help (treated same as F15)
-       Menu (treated same as F16, is the LK201 `Do' key)
-       Find
-       Insert (LK201 `Insert Here' key)
-       Select
-       Prior (LK201 `Prev Screen' key *** ONLY IN 18.58 AND LATER ***)
-       Next (LK201 `Next Screen' key *** ONLY IN 18.58 AND LATER ***)
-  
-     And finally, the LK201 key labelled `Remove' (or `Delete') is often
-     mapped to the Delete keysym which generates the DEL character (C-?)
-     instead of the key sequence given by the LK201 `Remove' key.  It may
-     also be mapped to some other keysym, such as `_Remove', in which case
-     you can't use it from within Emacs at all.
-  
-     Each function key will be internally converted to a character sequence
-     that looks like "ESC [ ## ~", where ## is replaced by a number.  The
-     character sequences are identical to those generated by a LK201
-     keyboard.  Any function key not listed above generates "ESC [ - 1 ~".
-  
-  For the complete list of the numbers which are generated by the function
-  keys, look in the file src/x11term.c at the definitions of the function
-  stringFuncVal.
-  
-  If you are running Emacs on a Sun machine, even if your X display is
-  running on a non-Sun machine (eg., an X terminal), you get the setup
-  described above for Suns.  The determining factor is what type of
-  machine Emacs is running (was compiled) on, not what type of machine
-  your X display is on.
-  
-  If you have function keys not listed above on your keyboard, you can use
-  `xmodmap' to change their keysym assignments to get keys that Emacs will
-  recognize, but that may screw up other programs.
-  
-  X resources are not used by Emacs to affect the key sequences generated.
-  In particular, there are no X key "translations" for Emacs.
-  
-  If you have function keys not listed above and you don't want to use
-  xmodmap to change their names, you might want to make a modification to
-  your Emacs.  Johan Vromans <jv@mh.nl> has made available a patch for Emacs
-  that adds the x-rebind-key function of Epoch to Emacs 18.58.  This allows
-  another layer of key rebinding before Emacs even sees the keys, and in
-  this layer you can rebind all of the keys and modifier combinations as
-  well.

-  Anonymous FTP:
-    /ftp.eu.net:gnu/emacs/FP-Xfun.Z
-    /ftp.urc.tue.nl:pub/tex/emacs/FP-Xfun
-  
-  Johan Vromans explains what this buys for you:
-  
-    After implementing this, all keyboard keys can be configured to send
-    user definable sequences, eg.,
-  
-      (x-rebind-key "KP_F1" 0 "\033OP")
-  
-    This will have the keypad key PF1 send the sequence "ESC O P", just like
-    an ordinary VT series terminal.
-  
-129: How do I tell what characters my function or arrow keys emit?
-  
-  Use this function by Randal L. Schwartz <merlyn@iwarp.intel.com>:
-  
-    (defun see-chars ()
-      "Displays characters typed, terminated by a 3-second timeout."
-      (interactive)
-      (let ((chars "")
-            (inhibit-quit t))
-        (message "Enter characters, terminated by 3-second timeout.")
-        (while (not (sit-for 3))
-          (setq chars (concat chars (list (read-char)))
-                quit-flag nil))         ; quit-flag maybe set by C-g
-        (message "Characters entered: %s" (key-description chars))))
-  
-  Alternatively, use the "C-h l" view-lossage command, which will display
-  the last 100 characters Emacs has seen in its input stream.  Kevin
-  Gallagher <kgallagh@digi.lonestar.org> suggests typing some unique string
-  like "wxyz", typing the key in question, then typing "C-h l".  The
-  characters that appear between "wxyz" and "C-h l" were generated by the
-  key.
-

-  
+          (function
+           (lambda ()
+             (cond ((string-match "\\`vt220" (or (getenv "TERM") ""))
+                    ;; Make vt220's "Do" key behave like M-x:
+                    (global-set-key [do] 'execute-extended-command))
+                   ))))
+
+  For information on what Emacs does every time it is started, see the
+  lisp/startup.el file.
+
+107: How do I use function keys under X Windows?
+
+  With Emacs 19, functions keys under X are bound like any other key.  See
+  question 104 for details.
+
+108: How do I tell what characters or symbols my function or arrow keys
+     emit?
+
+  Put the following in your .emacs file and type `M-x see-chars' to use:
+
+  (defun see-chars ()
+    "Display events received, terminated by a 3-second timeout."
+    (interactive)
+    (let (chars
+          (inhibit-quit t))
+      (message "Enter characters or other events, terminated by a 3-second
+  timeout.")
+      (while (not (sit-for 3))
+        (setq chars (nconc chars (list (read-event)))
+              quit-flag nil)              ; quit-flag might be set by C-g.
+        (if (not (input-pending-p))
+            (message "Events received until now: %s..."
+                     (key-description chars))))
+      (message "Events received: %s" (key-description chars))))
+
+  Alternatively, type "C-h c" then the function or arrow keys.  The command
+  will return either a function key symbol or character sequence (see the
+  Emacs on-line documentation for an explanation).  This works for other
+  keys as well.
+
+109: How do I set the X key "translations" for Emacs?
+
   Sorry, you can't; there are no "translations" to be set.  Emacs is not
-  written using the Xt library.  The only way to affect the behavior of keys
-  within Emacs is through `xmodmap' (outside Emacs) or `define-key' (inside
-  Emacs).

+110: How do I handle C-s and C-q being used for flow control?
+
   C-s and C-q are used in the XON/XOFF flow control protocol.  This screws
   up Emacs because it binds these characters to commands.  Also, by default
   Emacs will not honor them as flow control characters and may overwhelm
   output buffers.  Sometimes, intermediate software using XON/XOFF flow
   control will prevent Emacs from ever seeing C-s and C-q.
-  
+
   Possible solutions:
-  
+
   * Disable the use of C-s and C-q for flow control.
-  
-    You need to determine what is the cause of the flow control.

+
+    You need to determine the cause of the flow control.
+
     * your terminal
-  
+
       Your terminal may use XON/XOFF flow control to have time to display
       all the characters it receives.  For example, VT series terminals do
       this.  It may be possible to turn this off from a setup menu.  For
       example, on a VT220 you may select `No XOFF' in the setup menu.  This
       is also true for some terminal emulation programs on PCs.
-  
+
       When you turn off flow control at the terminal, you will also need to
       turn it off at the other end, which might be at the computer you are
       logged in to or at some terminal server in between.
-  
+
       If you turn off flow control, characters may be lost; using a printer
       connected to the terminal may fail.  You may be able to get around
       this problem by modifying the `termcap' entry for your terminal to
-      include extra NUL padding characters.

+
     * a router or terminal server
-  
+
       Some network box between the terminal and your computer may be using
       XON/XOFF flow control.  It may be possible to make it use some other
       kind of flow control.  You will probably have to ask your local
       network experts for help with this.
-  
+
     * tty and/or pty devices
-  
+
       If your connection to Emacs goes through multiple tty and/or pty
       devices, they may be using XON/XOFF flow control even when it is not
       necessary.

+    (`flow-control-c-s-replacement' and `flow-control-c-q-replacement').
+
     If you are fixing this for yourself, simply put the form in your .emacs
     file.  If you are fixing this for your entire site, the best place to
-    put it is unclear.  I don't know if this has any effect when used in

-  conditionally.  I suggest pre-swapping them in lisp/site-init.el when
-  Emacs is built, and then in lisp/default.el, if it is determined to be

   Good question!
-  
-135: Why don't the arrow keys work?
-  
-  When Emacs starts up, it doesn't know anything about arrow keys at all
-  (except when running under X, see question 128).  During the process of
-  starting up, Emacs will load a terminal-specific initialization file for
-  your terminal type (as determined by the environment variable TERM), if
-  one exists.  This file has the responsibility for enabling the arrow keys.
-  
-  There are several things that can go wrong:
-  
-  1. There is no initialization file for your terminal.
-  
-     You can determine this by looking in the lisp/term directory.  If your
-     terminal type (as determined by the TERM environment variable) is
-     xxx-yy-z, then the first of these files in the lisp/term directory will
-     be loaded as the terminal-specific initialization file: xxx-yy-z.el,
-     xxx-yy.el, or xxx.el.
-  
-     There are two major cases of this problem:
-  
-     * Your terminal type is very similar to one that has an init file.
-  
-       In this case, there are several techniques suggested by Colin Jensen
-       <cjensen@ampex.com>, Ben Liblit <Liblit@cs.psu.edu>, and Marc
-       Auslander <marc@watson.ibm.com>:
-  
-       A. Add a symbolic link in lisp/term for your terminal type that
-          points to the similar type.  For example, you could make VT102
-          terminals work with this command:
-  
-            ln -s vt100.el vt102.el
-  
-          This fixes things for everyone on the system who uses the terminal
-          type.
-  
-       B. If you can't do the solution in part A, you can add code to your
-          term-setup-hook that loads the correct file like this:
-  
-            (setq term-setup-hook
-                  (function
-                   (lambda ()
-                     (cond ((equal "vt102" (or (getenv "TERM") ""))
-                            (load (concat term-file-prefix "vt100")))
-                           (;; Code for other terminal types goes here ...
-                            )))))
-  
-       C. If you use `tset' to set your TERM environment variable when you
-          login, you can use the `-m' switch to tell tset to use a terminal
-          type known by Emacs instead of another similar one.  For example,
-          specifying this:
-  
-            tset ... -m 'dec-vt220:vt220' ...
-  
-          will make tset say you are on a `vt220' instead of a `dec-vt220'.
-  
-       D. Interactively, you can type "M-x load-library RET term/vt100" to
-          load the terminal-specific initialization files for VT100
-          terminals.
-  
-     * Your terminal type is not similar to one that has an init file.
-  
-       One can be made for your terminal, or you can just add code to your
-       own .emacs to handle this problem for yourself.  For example, if your
-       terminal's arrow keys send these character sequences:
-  
-         Up:    ESC [ A
-         Down:  ESC [ B
-         Right: ESC [ C
-         Left:  ESC [ D
-  
-       then you can bind these keys to the appropriate commands with code in
-       your .emacs like this:
-  
-         (setq term-setup-hook
-               (function
-                (lambda ()
-                  (cond ((string-match "\\`xyzzy" (or (getenv "TERM") ""))
-                         ;; First, must unmap the binding for left bracket
-                         (or (keymapp (lookup-key global-map "\e\["))
-                             (define-key global-map "\e\[" nil))
-                         ;; Enable terminal type xyzzy's arrow keys:
-                         (define-key global-map "\e\[A" 'previous-line)
-                         (define-key global-map "\e\[B" 'next-line)
-                         (define-key global-map "\e\[C" 'forward-char)
-                         (define-key global-map "\e\[D" 'backward-char))
-                        ((string-match "\\`abcde" (or (getenv "TERM") ""))
-                         ;; Do something different for terminal type abcde
-                         ;; .....
-                         )))))
-  
-     NOTE: You may have to restart Emacs to get changes to take effect.
-  
-     NOTE: Your arrow keys may send sequences beginning with "ESC O" when
-     Emacs is running, even if they send sequences beginning with "ESC [" at
-     all other times.  This is because Emacs uses any command there may be
-     in your terminal's termcap entry for putting the terminal into
-     "Application Keypad Mode".  Just map these sequences the same way as
-     above.
-  
-  The next two cases are problems even if there is a initialization file for
-  your terminal type.
-  
-  2. The initialization file for your terminal doesn't bind arrow keys.
-  
-     If your terminal type is `xterm', you will have to bind the arrow keys
-     as in part 1 above, since the xterm.el file doesn't do anything useful.
-     There may be other terminal types with the same problem.
-  
-  3. Your terminal's arrow keys send individual control characters.
-  
-     For example, the arrow keys on an ADM-3 send C-h, C-j, C-k, and C-l.
-  
-     There is not much Emacs can do in this situation, since all the control
-     characters except for C-^ and C-\ are already used as Emacs commands.
-     It may be possible to convince the terminal to send something else when
-     you press the arrow keys; it is worth investigating.
-  
-     You have to make the hard choices of how to rebind keys to commands to
-     make things work the way you want.  Another alternative is to start
-     learning the standard Emacs keybindings for moving point around: C-b,
-     C-f, C-p, and C-n.  Personally, I no longer use the arrow keys when
-     editing because I have switched keyboards so many times.
-  
-  4. Your terminal's arrow keys send sequences beginning with "ESC [".
-  
-     Due to an extremely poor design decision (ie., these sequences are ANSI
-     standard), none of the the terminal-specific initialization files that
-     are distributed with Emacs will bind these character sequences to the
-     appropriate commands by default.  (This also applies to any other
-     function keys which generate character sequences starting with "ESC
-     [".)  This is because it was deemed far more important to preserve the
-     binding of M-[ to the backward-paragraph command.  It appears that this
-     will change in Emacs 19.
-  
-     Some of the terminal-specific initialization files that come with Emacs
-     provide a command enable-arrow-keys that will fix this problem.  To get
-     this automatically invoked, put this in your .emacs:
-  
-       (setq term-setup-hook
-             (function
-              (lambda ()
-                (if (fboundp 'enable-arrow-keys) (enable-arrow-keys)))))
-  
-     We put this in our lisp/default.el file, so users don't have to worry
-     about it:
-  
-       ;; don't override a user's term-setup-hook
-       (or term-setup-hook
-           (setq term-setup-hook
-                 (function
-                  (lambda ()
-                    (and (fboundp 'enable-arrow-keys)
-                         ;; don't override a user key mapping
-                         (eq 'backward-paragraph (lookup-key esc-map "["))
-                         (enable-arrow-keys))))))
-  
-     If your terminal type is `sun', you should put this in your .emacs
-     instead (or in addition to the above):
-  
-       (setq sun-esc-bracket t)
-  
-     It is possible that the terminal-specific initialization file for your
-     terminal type was written locally and does not follow the rule
-     mentioned above.  In this case you may need to inspect it to find out
-     how to enable the arrow keys.  (Actually, if it was written locally, it
-     probably enables the arrow keys by default.)
-  
-136: How do I "swap" two keys?
-  
-  When Emacs receives a character, you can make Emacs behave as though it
-  received another character by setting the value of
-  keyboard-translate-table.  The following Emacs Lisp will do this for you,
-  allowing you to "swap" keys.  After arranging for this Lisp to be
-  evaluated by Emacs, you can evaluate `(swap-keys ?A ?B)' to swap A and B.
-  
-    (defun swap-keys (key1 key2)
-      "Swap keys KEY1 and KEY2 using map-key."
-      (map-key key1 key2)
-      (map-key key2 key1))
-  
-    (defun map-key (from to)

-  NOTE: You must evaluate the definition of these functions before calling
-  them!  For example, list the function definitions before their use in your
-  .emacs file.
-  
-  NOTE: These functions take two numbers as arguments.  The example above,
-  `(swap-keys ?A ?B)' is actually `(swap-keys 65 66)', because `?A' is
-  merely notation for 65, the ASCII value of `A'.
-  
-  NOTE: These functions only work for single characters.  You cannot swap
-  two multi-character sequences.
-  
-137: How do I produce C-XXX with my keyboard?
-  
-  For C-@ and C-^, often you can just type Control-2 and Control-6.  For
-  C-_, you may have to hold down the shift key, typing Control-Shift-Hyphen.
-  C-@ can often be generated by typing Control-Space.  C-@ is often called
-  the NUL character, and has ASCII value 0.  C-_ can often be generated by
-  typing Control-7 or Control-/.  C-? (aka DEL) may be generated by typing
-  Shift-BackSpace or Control-BackSpace or a key labelled Delete or Del.
-  
-  Try Control with all of the digits on your keyboard to see what gets
-  generated.
-  
-138: What if I don't have a Meta key?
-  
-  Instead of typing M-a, you can type "ESC a" instead.  In fact, Emacs
-  converts M-a internally into "ESC a" anyway (depending on the value of
-  meta-prefix-char).
-  
-139: What if I don't have an Escape key?
-  
-  Type C-[ instead.  This should send ASCII code 27 just like an Escape
-  key would.  Try also C-;.
-  
-140: How do I type DEL on PC terminal emulators?
-  
-  Some IBM PC compatibles do not have a key labeled `Del' or `Delete' {is
-  this true?}.  Those that do generally have it in an inconvenient location.
-  (Also, in some terminal emulators, the `Del' key does not transmit DEL.)
-  The result is the standard "BackSpace invoking help" problem (see question
-  133).
-  
-  The usual solution, suggested by Michael Covington
-  <mcovingt@aisun1.ai.uga.edu>, is to somehow tell the terminal emulator
-  program that BackSpace should transmit DEL.  Read the program's manual.
-  Shift-BackSpace or Control-BackSpace may send DEL.  The `Del' key may only
-  send DEL if the NumLock key hasn't been pressed.
-  
-141: Can I make my `Compose Character' key behave like a Meta key?
-  
+
+114: How do I "swap" two keys?
+
+  In Emacs 19, you can swap two keys (or key sequences) by using the
+  `keyboard-translate' function.  For example, to turn `C-h' into DEL and
+  DEL to `C-h', use
+
+        (keyboard-translate ?\C-h ?\C-?)  ; translate `C-h' to DEL
+        (keyboard-translate ?\C-? ?\C-h)  ; translate DEL to `C-h'.
+
+  The first key sequence of the pair after the function identifies what is
+  produced by the keyboard; the second, what is matched for in the keymaps.
+
+  Keyboard translations are not the same as key bindings in keymaps.  Emacs
+  contains numerous keymaps that apply in different situations, but there
+  is only one set of keyboard translations, and it applies to every
+  character that Emacs reads from the terminal.  Keyboard translations take
+  place at the lowest level of input processing; the keys that are looked
+  up in keymaps contain the characters that result from keyboard
+  translation.
+
+  Also see `Keyboard Translations' in the on-line manual.
+
+115: How do I produce C-XXX with my keyboard?
+
+  On terminals (but not under X), some common "aliases" are:
+
+            CTRL-2  or  CTRL-SPC             for      C-@
+            CTRL-6                           for      C-^
+            CTRL-7  or  CTRL-SHIFT--         for      C-_
+            CTRL-4                           for      C-\
+            CTRL-5                           for      C-]
+            CTRL-/                           for      C-?
+
+  Often other aliases exist; use the `C-h c' command and try `CTRL' with
+  all of the digits on your keyboard to see what gets generated.  You can
+  also try the `C-h w' command if you know the name of the command.
+
+116: What if I don't have a Meta key?
+
+  Instead of typing "M-a", you can type "ESC a".  In fact, Emacs converts
+  M-a internally into "ESC a" anyway (depending on the value of
+  meta-prefix-char).  Note that you press "Meta" and "a" together, while
+  you press "ESC", release it, and then press "a".
+
+117: What if I don't have an Escape key?
+
+  Type "C-[" instead.  This should send ASCII code 27 just like an Escape
+  key would.  "C-3" may also work on some terminal (but not under X).  For
+  many terminals (notably DEC terminals) "F11" generates the "ESC" key.  If
+  not, the following form can be used bind it:
+
+  (define-key function-key-map [f11] [?\e])  ; F11 is the documented ESC
+                                             ; replacement on DEC terminals.
+
+118: Can I make my `Compose Character' key behave like a Meta key?
+
   On a dumb terminal such as a VT220, no.  It is rumored that certain VT220
   clones could have their Compose key configured this way.  If you're using
-  X, you might be able to do this with the `xmodmap' program (this is
-  what I do).
-  
-142: How do I bind a combination of modifier key and function key?
-  
-  Unless you're using Emacs under emacstool (or xvetool?), have a working
-  version of x-rebind-key (see question 128), or are using Emacs 19 (Lucid
-  Emacs), you can't do this with Emacs alone.
-  
-  If you are using emacstool, Emacs sees different character sequences for
-  the combination of a modifier and a function key from what it sees for the
-  function key alone.  See etc/emacstool.1 for more information.  Since
-  Emacs sees different character sequences, you can bind these different
-  sequences to different commands.
-  
-  If you are running Emacs inside a terminal emulator window like xterm, you
-  can modify its translation tables to make it generate different character
-  sequences for the combination of a modifier and a function key.  For
-  example, this X resource setting:
-  
-    XTerm.VT100.Translations: #override \
-      Shift<KeyPress>F1: string(0x1b) string("[xyzzy")
-  
-  makes Shift-F1 generate the character sequence "ESC [ xyzzy".  You can
-  bind these character sequences in Emacs as normal.  Nick Ruprecht
-  <ruprecht@informatik.uni-freiburg.de> has written an extensive X
-  translation mapping for xterm that does this.  {Does this have an FTP
-  site?}
-  
-  If you have x-rebind-key, you can have any arbitrary combination of
-  modifiers with a key replaced by any sequence of "normal" characters.  For
-  example, this makes Shift-Return behave as though you had typed "C-x C-e"
-  (example from Jerry Graves):
-  
-    (x-rebind-key "Return" 'shift "\C-x\C-e")
-  
-  In Emacs 19 (Lucid Emacs), you can bind Meta-Left-Arrow like this (example
-  from Jamie Zawinski):
-  
-    (global-set-key '(meta left) 'backward-word)
-  
-  With the last two methods, use `xmodmap' and `xev' to discover the keysym
-  and modifier names.
-  
-143: Why doesn't my Meta key work in an xterm window?
-  
+  X, you might be able to do this with the `xmodmap' program.
+
+119: How do I bind a combination of modifier key and function key?
+
+  With Emacs 19 you can indicate modified function keys in vector format
+  through multi-prefixing the function key symbol.  For example (from the
+  Emacs on-line documentation):
+
+           (global-set-key [?\C-x right] 'forward-page)
+
+  where "?\C-x" is the Lisp character constant for the character "C-x".
+
+  You can use the modifier keys CTRL, META, HYPER, SUPER, ALT and SHIFT
+  with function keys.  To represent these modifiers, prepend the strings
+  "C-", "M-", "H-", "s-", "A-" and "S-" to the symbol name.  Thus, here is
+  how to make "Hyper-Meta-RIGHT" move forward a word:
+
+           (global-set-key [H-M-right] 'forward-word)
+
+  NOTE: * Not all modifiers are permitted in all situations.  HYPER, SUPER,
+          and ALT are available only under X (provided there are such
+          keys).  Non-ASCII keys and mouse events (e.g. "C-=" and
+          "mouse-1") also fall under this category.
+
+  See question 104 for general key binding instructions.
+
+120: Why doesn't my Meta key work in an xterm window?
+
   Try all of these methods before asking for further help:
-  
+
   * You may have big problems using `mwm' as your window manager.  {Does
     anyone know a good generic solution to allow the use of the Meta key in
     Emacs with mwm?}
-  
-  * For X11R4: Make sure it really is a Meta key.  Use `xev' to find out
-    what keysym your Meta key generates.  It should be either Meta_L or
-    Meta_R.  If it isn't, use xmodmap to fix the situation.
-  
+
+  * For X11: Make sure it really is a Meta key.  Use `xev' to find out what
+    keysym your Meta key generates.  It should be either Meta_L or Meta_R.
+    If it isn't, use xmodmap to fix the situation.
+
   * Make sure the pty the xterm is using is passing 8 bit characters.
     `stty -a' (or `stty everything') should show `cs8' somewhere.  If it
     shows `cs7' instead, use `stty cs8 -istrip' (or `stty pass8') to fix
     it.
-  
+
   * If there is an rlogin connection between the xterm and the Emacs, the
-    `-8' argument may need to be given to rlogin to make it pass all 8
-    bits of every character.
-  
+    `-8' argument may need to be given to rlogin to make it pass all 8 bits
+    of every character.
+
   * If the Emacs is running under Ultrix, it is reported that evaluating
     (set-input-mode t nil) helps.
-  
+
   * If all else fails, you can make xterm generate "ESC W" when you type
     M-W, which is the same conversion Emacs would make if it got the M-W
     anyway.  In X11R4, the following resource specification will do this:
-  
+
       XTerm.VT100.EightBitInput: false
-  
+
     (This changes the behavior of the insert-eight-bit action.)
-  
+
     With older xterms, you can specify this behavior with a translation:
-  
+
       XTerm.VT100.Translations: #override \
         Meta<KeyPress>: string(0x1b) insert()
-  
+
     You might have to replace `Meta' with `Alt'.
-  
-144: Why doesn't my ExtendChar key work as a Meta key under HP-UX 8.0?
-  
+
+121: Why doesn't my ExtendChar key work as a Meta key under HP-UX 8.0?
+
   This is a result of an internationalization extension in X11R4 and the
   fact that HP is now using this extension.  Emacs assumes that
   XLookupString returns the same result regardless of the Meta key state
   which is no longer necessarily true.  Until Emacs is fixed, the temporary
   kludge is to run this command after each time the X server is started but
   preferably before any xterm clients are:
-  
+
     xmodmap -e 'remove mod1 = Mode_switch'
-  
+
   NOTE:  This will disable the use of the extra keysyms systemwide, which
   may be undesirable if you actually intend to use them.

 Using Emacs with Alternate Character Sets
 
-147: How do I make Emacs display 8-bit characters?
-  
-  There is a patch called the `8-bit ctl-arrow patch' that allows Emacs to
-  display characters with codes from 128 to 255.  {The original appears to
-  have been by Kenneth Cline <cline@proof.ergo.cs.cmu.edu>.} Partially based
-  on Johan Widen's earlier work, Johan Vromans <jv@mh.nl> has updated this
-  patch for Emacs 18.58 along with some other 8-bit improvements.

-  Anders Edenbrandt <anderse@dna.lth.se> has produced a more comprehensive
-  patch for Emacs 18.59 that allows for 8-bit input and output.
-  
-  Anonymous FTP:
-    /ftp.efd.lth.se:pub/gnu/emacs_8-bit.patch
-
-  In the words of the author:
-
-    With these patches, Emacs becomes fully 8-bit operational.  There is
-    support for displaying 8-bit characters, as well as for entering such
-    characters from the keyboard.  In addition, upcase/lowcase translation
-    is supported, accented characters are recognized as "letters" (important
-    when doing 'forward-word', for example), and text with 8-bit characters
-    can be sorted correctly.
-
-    A Meta-shift key can still be used, provided that you run in an
-    environment where it is possible to distinguish between a character
-    entered using the Meta-shift key and one entered directly. The diffs
-    include patches to make this work under SunView (with emacstool) as
-    well as under X.  If you can't use a Meta-shift key, you have to enter
-    Meta-commands with the ESC-prefix.
-
-  The most comprehensive patches for 8-bit output are by Howard Gayle
-  (originally for Emacs 18.55.  These patches allow displaying any arbitrary
-  string for a given 8-bit character (except TAB and C-j).  Also supported
-  is defining the sorting order and the uppercase and lowercase
-  translations.  It is reported that the 8-bit character support in Emacs 19
-  is largely based on these patches.  Thomas Bellman
-  <Bellman@lysator.liu.se> has updated these patches for Emacs 18.59.

-    /ftp.lysator.liu.se:pub/emacs/emacs-18.59-gayle.tar.Z  (patched Emacs)
-  
-  Epoch's 8-bit character support is based on Anders Edenbrandt's patches.
-  Lucid Emacs has the ctl-arrow patch installed.  Nemacs displays 8-bit
-  characters, and it may be useful for displaying the 8-bit ISO-8859
-  alphabet, but I don't know for sure (see question 149).
-  
-148: How do I input 8-bit characters?
-  
-  Minor modes for ISO Latin-1 that allow one to easily input this character
-  set have been written by several people.  Such modes have been written by
-  Matthieu Herrb <matthieu@laas.fr> (laas.laas.fr:pub/emacs/iso-latin-1.el),
-  Johan Vromans <jv@mh.nl> {FTP site??}, and Marc Shapiro
-  <shapiro@sor.inria.fr> {FTP site??}.
-  
-  These approaches differ from the one taken by Anders Edenbrandt in that
-  his method uses direct 8-bit input, while these methods use a compose
-  sequence for 8-bit characters.  {I have heard conflicting reports on
-  whether this results in losing the Meta key.  Perhaps this depends on
-  whether Emacs is running under X.  Can someone resolve this?}
-  
-  Karl Heuer <karl@haddock.ima.isc.com> is said to have a patch to allow
-  8-bit input.  Georg-Wilhelm Koltermann <gwk@crmunich0.cray.com> also has a
-  patch for either 18.57 or 18.58 that allows 8-bit input.
-  
-  Epoch comes with a patch that allows it to input 8-bit characters, but it
-  is not enabled by default.  {Is this right?}
-  
-  Jamie Zawinski says:
-  
-    Lucid GNU Emacs allows the input of any ISO-8859/1 keysyms that your
-    keyboard generates (see xmodmap), and contains a package that implements
-    a DEC/OpenWindows-like "Compose" key for systems which don't have one.

-149: Where can I get an Emacs that can handle kanji characters?
-  
+124: How do I make Emacs display 8-bit characters?
+
+  GNU Emacs 19 has built-in support for 8-bit characters.  Here is an
+  excerpt from the `European Display' page of the on-line manual:
+
+    Some European languages use accented letters and other special symbols.
+    The ISO 8859 Latin-1 character set defines character codes for many
+    European languages in the range 160 to 255.
+
+    Emacs can display those characters according to Latin-1, provided the
+    terminal or font in use supports them.  The `M-x
+    standard-display-european' command toggles European character display
+    mode.  With a numeric argument, `M-x standard-display-european' enables
+    European character display if and only if the argument is positive.
+
+    Some operating systems let you specify the language you are using by
+    setting a locale.  Emacs handles one common special case of this: if
+    your locale name for character types contains the string `8859-1' or
+    `88591', Emacs automatically enables European character display mode
+    when it starts up.
+
+125: How do I input 8-bit characters?
+
+  Again, from the `European Display' page of the on-line manual:
+
+    If you enter non-ASCII ISO Latin-1 characters often, you might find ISO
+    Accents mode convenient.  When this minor mode is enabled, the
+    characters ``', `'', `"', `^', `/' and `~' modify the following letter
+    by adding the corresponding diacritical mark to it, if possible.  To
+    enable or disable ISO Accents mode, use the command `M-x
+    iso-accents-mode'.  This command affects only the current buffer.
+
+    To enter one of those six special characters, type the character,
+    followed by a space.  Some of those characters have a corresponding
+    "dead key" accent character in the ISO Latin-1 character set; to enter
+    that character, type the corresponding ASCII character twice.  For
+    example, `''' enters the Latin-1 character acute-accent (character code
+    0264).

+Mail and News
 
+129: How do I change the included text prefix in mail/news followups?
 
+  If you read mail with Rmail or news with Gnus, set the variable
+  mail-yank-prefix.  For VM, set vm-included-text-prefix.  For mh-e, set
+  mh-ins-buf-prefix.
 
-Mail and News
+  For fancier control of citations, use Supercite.  See question 93.
 
-152: How do I change the included text prefix in mail/news followups?
-  
-  Many people want Emacs to prefix included text with something like ` > '
-  instead of with three spaces.  One way is to change the code of the
-  function `mail-yank-original' in lisp/sendmail.el that prefixes with
-  spaces.  A more flexible solution is to use Supercite, which provides wide
-  configurability in how you format included text in replies.  See question
-  107.  Both of these solutions work for RMAIL and GNUS.
-  
   A related problem is how to prevent Emacs from including various headers
   of the replied-to message.  For this, you should set the value of
   mail-yank-ignored-headers, which takes a regexp value.
-  
-153: How do I save a copy of outgoing mail?
-  
-  Two methods:
-  
-  1. (setq mail-self-blind t) will result in a `BCC:' header line with your
-     address being added to mail composition buffers.  This will cause the
-     mail system to send a copy of the mail back to you.
-  
-  2. (setq mail-archive-file-name (expand-file-name "~/outgoing")) will
-     result in an `FCC:' header line with the pathname of ~/outgoing being
-     added to mail composition buffers.  When you send the mail, Emacs will
-     save a copy of the mail in the file ~/outgoing and then strip off the
-     `FCC:' line before actually sending.
-  
-     WARNING: There is a bug in Emacs 18.58 that prevents mail readers such
-     as RMAIL from reading the saved mail messages individually.  See
-     question 155.
-  
-     WARNING: If you are visiting the file ~/outgoing at the time you send
-     the mail, this can cause a variety of horrible problems.  Jamie
-     Zawinski has written a solution for this.
-  
+
+130: How do I save a copy of outgoing mail?
+
+  You can either mail yourself a copy by including a `BCC:' header in the
+  mail message, or store a copy of the message directly to a file by
+  including an `FCC:' header.
+
+  If you use standard mail, you can automatically create a `BCC:' to
+  yourself by putting
+
+    (setq mail-self-blind t)
+
+  in your .emacs.  You can automatically include an `FCC:' field by putting
+  something like the following in your .emacs file:
+
+    (setq mail-archive-file-name (expand-file-name "~/outgoing"))
+
+  The output file will be in Unix mail format, which can be read directly
+  by VM, but not always by Rmail.  See question 132.
+
+  If you use mh-e add an FCC: or BCC: field to your components file.
+
   It does not work to put `set record filename' in the .mailrc file.
-  
-154: Why doesn't Emacs expand my aliases when sending mail?
-  
+
+131: Why doesn't Emacs expand my aliases when sending mail?
+
   * You must separate multiple addresses in the headers of the mail buffer
     with commas.  This is because Emacs supports RFC822 standard addresses
     like this one:
-  
+
       To: Willy Smith <wks@xpnsv.lwyrs.com>
-  
+
     However, you do not need to separate addresses with commas in your
     .mailrc file.
-  
+
     WARNING: Emacs breaks up aliases in the .mailrc file into multiple
     addresses both on commas and on whitespace, regardless of any use of
     quotes.  This is probably a bug.  You can get around this by directly
     setting the value of mail-aliases.
-  
+
   * Emacs normally only reads the `.mailrc' file once per session, when you
     start to compose your first mail message.  If you edit .mailrc, you can
     type "M-ESC (build-mail-aliases) RET" to make Emacs reread .mailrc.
     (You have to include the parentheses where they are shown!)
-  
+
   * Emacs does not interpret vendor-specific additions to the format of the
     .mailrc file such as the `source' command.  It also ignores any `set'
     commands.  The only commands it looks at are `alias' and `group'
     commands.
-  
-155: Why does RMAIL think all my saved messages are one big message?
-  
-  There is a bug for FCC-ed messages in Emacs 18.58 where it adds a timezone
-  on the "From " line after the year instead of before the year.  (Before it
-  didn't add the timezone at all.)  This is incompatible with the standard
-  format for the "From " line, and RMAIL in particular can no longer
-  distinguish between the messages.  Karl Berry <karl@cs.umb.edu>, Felix Lee
-  <flee@cs.psu.edu>, Nick Gianniotis <nico@japan.sbi.com> and many
-  others have all posted patches for this.  Karl's is the simplest and just
-  stops Emacs from adding the timezone:

-  
-  Use rmailsort.el by Masanobu Umeda.

+    type them in.  To enable this feature, execute the following:
+
+       (add-hook 'mail-setup-hook 'mail-abbrevs-setup)
+
+132: Why does Rmail think all my saved messages are one big message?
+
+  A file created through the FCC: field in a message is in Unix Mail
+  format, not the format that Rmail uses (BABYL format).  Rmail will try to
+  convert a Unix mail file into BABYL format on input, but sometimes it
+  makes errors.  For guaranteed safety, you can make the saved- messages
+  file be an inbox for your Rmail file by using the function
+  set-rmail-inbox-list.
+
+133: How can I sort the messages in my Rmail folder?
+
+  In Rmail, type C-c C-s C-h to get a list of sorting functions and their
+  key bindings.
+
+134: Why does Rmail need to write to /usr/spool/mail?
+
+  This is the behavior of the `movemail' program which Rmail uses.  This
   indicates that movemail is configured to use lock files.
-  
+
   RMS writes:
-  
+
     Certain systems require lock files to interlock access to mail files.
     On these systems, movemail must write lock files, or you risk losing
     mail.  You simply must arrange to let movemail write them.
-  
+
     Other systems use the flock system call to interlock access.  On these
     systems, you should configure movemail to use flock.
-  
-158: How do I recover my mail files after RMAIL munges their format?
-  
-  Users who just want to try RMAIL out to see how it works end up trapped
-  using it because saved mail in their `mbox' file has been converted into
-  an incompatible format (BABYL) that only RMAIL understands.  RMAIL
-  provides no obvious way to reverse this transformation.  Kyle Jones has
-  aptly named this "the great Emacs Mail Eating Monster".  To convert a mail
-  file back to standard Unix format, there are several methods:
-  
-  * Use the rmail-output ("C-o") command within RMAIL on each message in the
-    file.  First use M-x rmail or M-x rmail-input to visit the RMAIL file in
-    Rmail mode.  Type "1 j" to go to the first message.  Use the C-o command
-    to output the message to a Unix format file.  Type "n" to go to the next
-    message.  Repeat.
-  
-  * If the file contains hundreds of messages, you may not want to repeat
-    this for all of them.  Instead of the above, after getting to the first
-    message type this (where "mbox" is the file you want to put the messages
-    in):
-  
-      C-x ( C-o mbox RET M-s ^From: RET M-0 C-x )
-  
-    (The rmail-search command ("M-s") is used instead of just "n" because it
-    is the only command which will cause an error when it reaches the last
-    message in the file, which is necessary to terminate the keyboard macro.
-    This will fail if there are messages in the file that don't have a
-    `From:' header.  This assumes rmail-delete-after-output is nil.)
-  
-    It is wise to save a copy of the RMAIL file first, in case you make a
-    mistake.
-  
-  * There are software packages available for converting files or even
-    entire directories of BABYL files to standard Unix format.  These are
-    helpful in this situation, but are intended mainly for people who have
-    used RMAIL for a long time and are converting to some other mail reader.
-    Lookup `rmail', `vm', and `babyl' in the Emacs Lisp Archive (see
-    question 89).
-  
-  You may wish to disable RMAIL to avoid accidentally destroying your mbox
-  file (I have this in my .emacs):
-  
-    (put 'rmail 'disabled t)            ; avoid mbox destruction

+
+135: How do I recover my mail files after Rmail munges their format?
+
+  If you have just done rmail-input on a file and you don't want to save it
+  in Rmail's format (called BABYL), just kill the buffer (with C-x k).
+
+  If you typed M-x rmail and it read some messages out of your inbox and
+  you want to put them in a Unix mail file, use C-o on each message.
+
+  If you want to convert an existing file from BABYL format to Unix mail
+  format, use the command M-x unrmail: it will prompt you for the input and
+  output file names.
+
+136: How do I make Emacs automatically start my mail/news reader?
+
+  To start Emacs in Gnus:
+
     emacs -f gnus
-  
-  Also:
-  
+
+  in Rmail:
+
+    emacs -f rmail
+
+  A more convenient way to start with Gnus:
+
     alias gnus 'emacs -f gnus'
-  
-  It is probably unwise to automatically start your mail or news reader from
-  your .emacs file.  This would cause problems if you needed to run two
-  copies of Emacs at one time.  Also, this would make it difficult for you
-  to start Emacs quickly when you needed to.
-  
-160: How do I read news under Emacs?
-  
-  There are at least three news reading packages that operate inside Emacs.
-  `rnews' comes with Emacs.  GNUS and Gnews come separately.  rnews will
-  be replaced by GNUS in Emacs 19.
-  
-  rnews works only with a local news spool directory.  Both GNUS and Gnews
-  handle reading news remotely via NNTP in addition to reading from a local
-  news spool.  GNUS supports reading mail stored in MH folders or articles
-  saved by GNUS.
-  
-  Gnews is styled after `rn' and seems to work like RMAIL.  GNUS feels more
-  like VM.  People have complained that GNUS uses a lot of CPU time (it
-  does).  Some people have complained that Gnews is slower than GNUS.
-  
-  For more information about GNUS, see question 108.
-  
-  Gnews was written by Matthew P. Wiener <weemba@libra.wistar.upenn.edu>.
-  The latest version seems to be 2.0, posted October 3, 1988.  Matthew
-  posted some fixes on October 26, 1988.  Gnews does not appear to have been
-  supported after this date.  In particular, it has been reported that Gnews
-  does not work with Emacs 18.57.  There is a newsgroup for Gnews called
-  gnu.emacs.gnews.
-  
-161: Why does `rnews' say "No News is good news" when there is news?
-  
-  rnews doesn't speak NNTP.  You may need to use GNUS or Gnews.

+

+
+138: Why doesn't Gnus work via NNTP?
+
   There is a bug in NNTP version 1.5.10, such that when multiple requests
   are sent to the NNTP server, the server only handles the first one before
   blocking waiting for more input which never comes.  NNTP version 1.5.11
   claims to fix this.
-  
+
   You can work around the bug inside Emacs like this:
-  
+
     (setq nntp-maximum-request 1)
-  
-  I also have a patch for NNTP 1.5.10 by Mike Pelletier
-  <stealth@engin.umich.edu> that is based on the timeout code that was in
-  1.5.9.  However, please try to upgrade to 1.5.11 first.
-  
+
   You can find out what version of NNTP your news server is running by
-  telnetting to the NNTP port (usually 119) on the news server machine (ie.,
-  `telnet server-machine 119').  The server should give its version number
-  in the welcome message.  Type `quit' to get out.

-  
-  Use gnus-mark.el by Jamie Zawinski <jwz@lucid.com>.
-  
-166: Why does GNUS put the subjects in replies beyond the 80th column?
-  
-  This is a feature.  If you set gnus-thread-hide-subject to non-nil, GNUS
+  <dnb@meshugge.media.mit.edu> will remove both underlining and
+  overstriking automatically.  It is available on the Lisp Code Directory
+  (see question 77).
+
+140: How do I save all the items of a multi-part posting in Gnus?
+
+  Use gnus-uu.  Type C-c C-v C-h in the Gnus summary buffer to see a list
+  of available commands.
+
+141: Why does Gnus put the subjects in replies beyond the 80th column?
+
+  This is a feature.  If you set gnus-thread-hide-subject to non-nil, Gnus
   will only display the subject of the first posting in a thread, even if
   some of the replies use different subjects.  It hides the subjects by
   putting them past the edge of the window and setting truncate lines to t.
-  
+
   If your screen looks messed up, then for some reason truncate-lines in
   your `*Subject*' buffer has been set to nil.  It should be set to t.
-  
-  (I have an enhancement to GNUS 3.13 that will make it only hide the subject
-  of a posting when it is unchanged from the followed-up-to posting.  Thus,
-  you can use the subject hiding feature and still know when someone changes
-  the subject.  (I have forgotten who originally gave me the idea for this.))
-  
-167: Why is GNUS so slow to start up?
-  
-  GNUS does several things that take quadratic time of the number of
-  newsgroups that are listed in .newsrc.  The quick fix for this is to
-  remove all the newsgroups in which you have no interest from your .newrc
-  file by using GNUS's C-k command in the `*Newsgroup*' buffer after
-  displaying all newsgroups with the L command.  If you were to directly
-  edit your .newsrc to remove the newsgroups, GNUS would add them back.
-  
-  GNUS uses a quadratic algorithm to check for duplicates when the .newsrc
-  file is newer than the .newsrc.el file (ie., you edited your .newsrc).
-  GNUS uses a quadratic algorithm to check for new newsgroups every time it
-  connects to the news server.  {There may be other quadratic algorithms
-  that I am not aware of.}
-  
-  You can speed up GNUS by using the C-k command in the *Newsgroup* buffer
-  to remove newsgroups from your .newsrc file.
-  
-  Of course, GNUS will run faster if you make sure it is byte-compiled.
-  
-  Felix Lee wrote some enhancements called `gnus-speedups.el' that fix some
-  of the problems.  See the Emacs Lisp Archive.
-

+
+142: How do I make Gnus start up faster?
+
+  Remove all the newsgroups in which you have no interest from your .newsrc
+  file by using Gnus's C-k or C-w commands in the `*Newsgroup*' buffer,
+  perhaps after displaying all newsgroups with the L command.
+  Unsubscribing will not speed up Gnus.
+
+143: How do I catch up all newsgroups in Gnus?
+
   In the `*Newsgroup*' buffer, type the following magical incantation:
-  
-    M-< C-x ( C-@ c y C-u C-@ C-e C-f C-f M-0 C-x )
-  
+
+    M-< C-x ( c y M-0 C-x )

   Leave off the "M-<" if you only want to catch up from point to the end of
   the `*Newsgroup' buffer.

   David Lawrence <tale@uunet.uu.net> explains:
-  
+
     The problem is almost always interaction between NNTP and C News.  NNTP
-    POST asks C News's inews to not background itself but rather hang around
-    and give its exit status so it knows whether the post was successful.
-    (That wait will on some systems not return the exit status of the
-    waited for job is a different sort of problem.)  It ends up taking a
-    long time because inews is calling relaynews, which often waits for
-    another relaynews to free the lock on the news system so it can file the
-    article.

+    POST asks C News's inews to not background itself but rather hang
+    around and give its exit status so it knows whether the post was
+    successful.  (That wait will on some systems not return the exit status
+    of the waited for job is a different sort of problem.)  It ends up
+    taking a long time because inews is calling relaynews, which often
+    waits for another relaynews to free the lock on the news system so it
+    can file the article.
+
     My preferred solution is to change inews to not call relaynews, but
-    rather use newsspool.  This loses some error-catching functionality, but
-    is for the most part safe as inews will detect a lot of the errors on
-    its own.  The C News folks have sped up inews, too, so speed should look
-    better to most folks as that update propagates around.
-  
-173: Why don't my news postings in GNUS get past the local machine?
-  
-  Three possible reasons: local distribution, C News date problem (see
-  question 174, and the path problem.  This piece of code may fix the path
-  problem for you:
-  
+    rather use newsspool.  This loses some error-catching functionality,

+    look better to most folks as that update propagates around.
+
+148: Why don't my news postings in Gnus get past the local machine?
+
+  It could be that your Distribution: field is "local" or a synonym, or
+  your Path: field may be wrong.  This piece of code may fix the latter
+  problem:
+
     (setq gnus-use-generic-path t)
-  
-174: Why is the GNUS-generated `Date:' header invalid?
-  
-  GNUS generates `Date:' headers without time zones.  C-News's `inews'
-  doesn't replace it with a valid header, but will generate it if not
-  already there.  If it is invalid, the article will not be forwarded
-  properly.  Quick fix:
-  
-    (defun gnus-inews-date () nil)
-  
-  This is not fixed as of GNUS 3.14.1.
-  
-175: Why doesn't GNUS generate the `Lines:' header?
-  
-  GNUS was written for B news, which would generate the `Lines:' header.  C
-  news doesn't.  There is a comment in C news's `inews' that you can
-  uncomment to enable this functionality.  Or you can have GNUS generate the
-  header, for example:
-  
-    ;; idea by jbryans@beach.csulb.edu (Jack Bryans)
-    (defun add-lines-header ()
-      ;; Count the number of lines in the current posting and insert the
-      ;; header line Lines into the message.
-      (save-excursion
-        (goto-char (point-min))
-        (if (search-forward "\n\n") ;; ***** I suspect this is wrong *****
-          (let ((lines (count-lines (point) (point-max))))
-            (forward-line -1)
-            (insert-string "Lines: " lines "\n")))))
-  
-  Mike Williams <mike-w@cs.aukuni.ac.nz> has written something similar.
-  
-  Ronald Florence <ron@mlfarm.com> has a patch for GNUS that makes it
-  calculate the `Lines:' header for incoming articles when necessary that
-  works for sites with local news spools.
-  
-  David Lawrence <tale@uunet.uu.net> says that GNUS 3.14.1 generates Lines
-  if gnus-news-system is Cnews.
-  
-176: Why do I get "Cannot open load file" "nntp" when compiling GNUS?
-  
-  Specifically, the error message is this:
-  
-    Error occurred processing gnus.el: File error (("Cannot open load file" "nntp"))
-  
-  This means that nntp.el is not in Emacs's load-path, which is easy to
-  happen when compiling using the Makefile.
-  
-  Easiest solution: set EMACSLOADPATH in Makefile (idea from Glenn Gribble
-  <glenn@netcom.com>):
-  
-    EMACSLOADPATH=/usr/local/emacs/lisp:.
-    ELC= env EMACSLOADPATH=$(EMACSLOADPATH) emacs -batch -f batch-byte-compile
-  
-  Another solution, in hack.el put this:
-  
-    (defun gross-hack () (setq load-path (cons "/directory" load-path)))
-  
-  Then in Makefile:
-  
-    ELC= emacs -batch -l hack.el -f gross-hack -f batch-byte-compile
-  
-177: How do I kill all articles in GNUS but those matching a pattern?
-  
-  Example:
-  
+
+149: Why doesn't Gnus generate the `Lines:' header?
+
+  The posting software down the line from Gnus often generates a "Lines:"
+  header so Gnus doesn't have to.  If you want it to, just add Lines to the
+  list in gnus-required-headers:
+
+    (add-hook 'gnus-startup-hook
+        '(lambda ()
+           (setq gnus-required-headers (cons 'Lines gnus-required-headers))))
+
+150: How do I kill all articles in Gnus but those matching a pattern?
+
+  Example kill file code:
+
     ;; kill everything
     (gnus-kill "subject" "" nil nil)
     ;; then restore stuff by our favorite poster
