Correct the manuals to avoid using the term "special operator" when
#'special-operator-p would give nil.

| 996 | 17 This directory contains a number of XEmacs dynamic modules. These |
| 18 modules can be loaded directly with the command 'M-x load-module'. | |
| 19 However, the preferred method of loading a module is to issue a | |
| 20 "(require 'module-name)" command to the Lisp interpreter. This will | |
| 21 store information so that a later "(unload-feature 'module-name)" can | |
| 22 succeed. | |
| 388 | 23 |
| 996 | 24 To compile one of these modules, simply enter the desired directory, |
| 25 type 'configure', and then 'make'. If you are building the module for | |
| 26 an installed XEmacs, then 'make install' will place the module in the | |
| 27 appropriate directory for XEmacs to find it later (assuming you have | |
| 28 permission to write to that directory). A subsequent 'load-module' or | |
| 29 'require' will then load the module, as described above. | |
| 388 | 30 |
| 996 | 31 Each of these demonstrates different features and limitations of the |
| 32 XEmacs module loading technology. For a complete discussion on XEmacs | |
| 33 dynamic modules, please consult the XEmacs Module Writers Guide, which | |
| 34 can be found in the ../info directory. | |
| 388 | 35 |
| 996 | 36 For those wanting to get started with module writing, please see the |
| 37 'sample' directory. It contains two subdirectories: internal and | |
| 38 external. The 'internal' subdirectory contains the framework needed to | |
| 39 migrate some core piece of XEmacs functionality into code that can | |
| 40 either be compiled into the core or built as a separate module. The | |
| 41 'external' subdirectory contains the somewhat simpler framework needed | |
| 42 to build a module separately from XEmacs. These should be considered | |
| 43 starting places for module writing. |
