[net.micro.amiga] MicroEmacs 3.7 problem

MicroEMACS 3.7 has a minor problem.  Not a bug, but a problem.

The word "beginning" is misspelled as "begining" throughout the
source code and documentation.  This means that the functions
"beginning-of-line" and "beginning-of-file" are improperly named
"begining-of-line" and "begining-of-file".  This could cause some
nasty problems for good spellers (like me) that try to execute these
functions as named commands or to bind them to new keys.

You can do one of three things:

	1) Realize the misspelling and remember it if you are running
named commands or rebinding keys

	2) Do a global replace of "begining" with "beginning"
throughout the source code and documentation.  Not only must the
assignments of names to functions in efunc.h be changed, but also
all the .cmd files (such as menu.cmd, menu1.cmd, azmap.cmd) and the
standard emacs.rc file.  I found the places that needed changing
using grep, and replaced them with Emacs.

	3) If you are a bad speller and are prone to spelling these
words with one 'n', none of this will affect you anyway.
