[alt.sources.d] emacs question?

godawski@usceast.UUCP (Mike Godawski,BCBS,788-3860 ext2703,2545277) (04/10/90)

I don't know if this kind of question belongs here :-) but, here goes.

I am new to emacs but have been forced to learn to use it because I
occassionally need to edit files larger than vi, etc... will hold and
emacs was `there`.  

I don't quite understand how emacs.rc or .emacsrc (or whatever it is called)
works and don't have a manual.

If anybody has a nifty manual which would get me started--how to use the
rc file (so that I can reconfigure it myself), I'd probably be able to 
go from there.

Thank you net-landers for your support and understanding.
