Another for the FAQ (Frequently asked question guide)

The elm manuals are part of the Elm distribution.  If you
don't have a copy, see the person who installed Elm on your
system.  They are in the doc directory of the distribution.

Having see many requests for either the "Manuals" and/or the "Manual
Pages", I have decided to make them available to those requesting one
or the other via 'E-mail', though they may be found in the < ~/doc >
directory of the C-code for 'Elm2.3'.

    needed to unpack the files
b)  A "shar" file to be simply fed to < /bin/sh > (no other utilities required)

Where do we get the FAQs from?  I've only been reading NEWS for a month or so
but I've coming across nothing to point me that way.

                 Thanks,
                       Chris

Sorry to dissappoint you, but their is no such guide.  Really its
a joke (However, I didn't put a :-) there).

The closest their is to one of those is the Elm Monthly posting.
