Apart from the source code and the GNU Emacs Manual, is there any documentation on GNU Emacs Lisp or the internal structure of GNU Emacs? Please respond directly to me. I will post a summary of responses. -- Jim Olsen olsen@ll-xn.ARPA ...!{caip,decvax,lll-crg,mit-eddie,seismo}!ll-xn!olsen

I recently posted an inquiry about GNU Emacs programming documentation. I thank Paul Rubin, Brian Marick, Daniel LaLiberte, Robert Krawitz, and Matt Crawford for responding. Here's what I found out: 1. Robert Krawitz (rlk@athena.mit.edu) has written a document called 'Lisp Functions and Emacs Commands'. It's not a reference manual, and it's not really finished, but it is quite informative. The document is now about 30 kbytes long. 2. Daniel LaLiberte (liberte@b.cs.uiuc.edu,ihnp4!uiucdcs!liberte) is coordinating the collective writing of an emacs-lisp manual, with occasional advice from RMS. The manual is "nowhere near finalized, or even fully begun..." -- Jim Olsen olsen@ll-xn.ARPA or olsen@xn.ll.mit.edu or ...!{caip,decvax,lll-crg,mit-eddie,seismo}!ll-xn!olsen

The document is now about 30 kbytes long. I've received a lot of requests for this. I posted it to net.sources, because I don't want to flood our and other people's mailers with the thing. It's basically in a condition that is usable, but it hasn't been texinfoed. > > 2.
