+;;; The .emacs file, which should reside in your home directory, allows you to

+;;; it explicitly with `M-x load-file RET ~/.emacs RET'.
+;;;
+;;; There is a great deal of documentation on customization in the Emacs
+;;; manual.  You can read this manual with the online Info browser: type
+;;; `C-h i' or select "Emacs Info" from the "Help" menu.

+;;; Scanning the buffer takes some time, but not much.
