+@unnumberedsubsec Q1.0.5: Who wrote XEmacs?
+
+XEmacs is the result of the time and effort of many people, and the
+active developers have changed over time.  There are two major
+components of the XEmacs effort -- writing the code itself and providing
+all the support work (testing the code, releasing beta and final
+versions, handling patches, reading bug reports, maintaining the web
+site, managing the mailing lists, etc. etc.).  Neither component would
+work without the other.
+
+@subheading CODING
+
+The primary code contributor over the years has been Ben Wing (active
+since late 1992).  Between 1991 and 1995, large amounts of coding was
+contributed by Jamie Zawinski and Chuck Thompson.  Many other people
+have authored major subsystems or otherwise contributed large amounts of
+code, including Andy Piper, Hrvoje Niksic, Jerry James, Jonathan Harris,
+Kyle Jones, Martin Buchholz, Michael Sperber, Olivier Galibert, Richard
+Mlynarik, Stig, William Perry and plenty of others.

+@unnumberedsubsec Q1.2.2: What versions of Unix does XEmacs run on?
+
+For problems with particular machines and versions of Unix, see the
+@file{PROBLEMS} file.
+
+Much effort has gone into making XEmacs work on as many different
+machines, configurations, and compilers as possible.
+
+Much effort has gone into making XEmacs 64-bit clean.
+
+Much effort has gone into removing system-specific code, and replacing
+such code with autodetection at configure time.
+
+The XEmacs core should build "out of the box" on most Unix-like systems.
+
+XEmacs 21.2 was tested and @samp{make check} succeeded on these Unix
+configurations as of 2001-02-10:
+
+@example
+alphaev56-dec-osf4.0e (both Compaq C and gcc)
+i386-unknown-freebsd4.2
+i386-unknown-netbsdelf1.5
+i586-sco-sysv5uw7.0.1 (both SCO's cc and gcc)
+i686-pc-linux-gnu
+hppa2.0-hp-hpux10.20 (both HP's ANSI cc and gcc)
+mips-sgi-irix6.5 (both MIPSpro cc and gcc)
+rs6000-ibm-aix4.3.0.0 (both IBM's xlc and gcc)
+sparc-sun-solaris2.6 (both Sun's Forte C and gcc)
+sparc-sun-solaris2.7 (both Sun's Forte C and gcc)
+sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4 (gcc)
+@end example
+
+Some systems have a dual mode 32-bit/64-bit compiler.  On most of
+these, XEmacs requires the @samp{--pdump} configure option to build
+correctly with the 64-bit version of the compiler.
+
+@example
+mips-sgi-irix6.5, CC="gcc -mabi=64"
+mips-sgi-irix6.5, CC="cc -64"
+rs6000-ibm-aix4.3.0.0, CC="cc -q64"
+@end example
+
+On most of these systems, XEmacs also builds with a C++ compiler,
+but not "out of the box".  This feature is only for use by the
+maintainers.
+
+XEmacs 21.2 is known @emph{not} to work on any machines with m680x0
+processors.  Sorry, all you sun3 and Unix PC nostalgia buffs out there.
+
+VMS has never been supported by XEmacs.  In fact, all the old VMS code
+inherited from Emacs has been removed.  Sorry, all you VMS fans out there.
+
+@node Q1.2.3, Q1.2.4, Q1.2.2, Introduction
+@unnumberedsubsec Q1.2.3: Is there a port of XEmacs to Microsoft Windows?
+
+Yes.  Beginning with release 21.0, XEmacs has worked under MS Windows
+and is fully-featured and actively developed.  A group of dedicated
+developers actively maintains and improves the Windows-specific
+portions of the code.  Some of the core developers, in fact, use
+Windows as their only development environment, and some features, such
+as printing, actually work better on Windows than native Unix and Mac
+OS X.  The mailing list at @email{xemacs-winnt@@xemacs.org} is dedicated
+to that effort (please use the -request address to
+subscribe). (Despite its name, XEmacs actually works on all versions
+of Windows.)
+
+The list name is misleading, as XEmacs supports and has been compiled on
+Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows
+XP, and all newer versions of Windows.  The MS Windows-specific code is
+based on Microsoft Win32 API, and will not work on MS Windows 3.x or on
+MS-DOS.
+
+XEmacs also supports the Cygwin and MinGW development and runtime
+environments, where it also uses native Windows code for graphical
+features.  In addition, under Cygwin it is possible to compile XEmacs
+to use an X server (and XFree86 is available as part of the standard
+Cygwin installation).
+
+@node Q1.2.4, Q1.2.5, Q1.2.3, Introduction
+@unnumberedsubsec Q1.2.4: Can I build XEmacs on MS Windows with X support?  Do I need to?
+
+Yes, you can, but no you do not need to.  In fact, we recommend that you
+use a native-GUI version unless you have a specific need for an X
+version.
+
+@node Q1.2.5, Q1.2.6, Q1.2.4, Introduction
+@unnumberedsubsec Q1.2.5: What are Cygwin and MinGW, and do I need them to run XEmacs?
+
+To answer the second part of the question: No, you, you don't need
+Cygwin or MinGW to build or to run XEmacs.  But if you have them and
+want to use them, XEmacs supports these environments.
+
+(One important reason to support Cygwin is that it lets the MS Windows
+developers test out their code in a Unix environment without actually
+having to have a Unix machine around.  For this reason alone, Cygwin
+support is likely to remain supported for a long time in XEmacs.  Same
+goes for the X support under Cygwin, for the same reasons.  MinGW
+support, on the other hand, depends on volunteers to keep it up to date;
+but this is generally not hard.)
+
+Cygwin is a set of tools providing Unix-like API on top of Win32.
+It makes it easy to port large Unix programs without significant
+changes to their source code.  It is a development environment as well
+as a runtime environment.
+
+When built with Cygwin, XEmacs supports all display types -- TTY, X &
+Win32 GUI, and can be built with support for all three simultaneously.
+If you build with Win32 GUI support then the Cygwin version uses the
+majority of the Windows-specific code, which is mostly related to
+display.  If you want to build with X support you need X libraries (and
+an X server to display XEmacs on); see @ref{Q2.2.7}.  TTY and Win32 GUI
+require no additional libraries beyond what comes standard with Cygwin.
+
+The advantages of the Cygwin version are that it integrates well with
+the Cygwin environment for existing Cygwin users; uses configure so
+building with different features is very easy; and actively supports X &
+TTY.  Furthermore, the entire Cygwin environment and compiler are free,
+whereas Visual C++ costs money.
+
+The disadvantage is that it requires the whole Cygwin environment,
+whereas the native port requires only a suitable MS Windows compiler.
+Also, it follows the Unix filesystem and process model very closely
+(some will undoubtedly view this as an advantage).
+
+See @uref{http://www.cygwin.com/} for more information on
+Cygwin.
+
+MinGW is a collection of header files and import libraries that allow
+one to use GCC under the Cygwin environment to compile and produce
+exactly the same native Win32 programs that you can using Visual C++.
+Programs compiled with MinGW make use of the standard Microsoft runtime
+library @file{MSVCRT.DLL}, present on all Windows systems, and look,
+feel, and act like a standard Visual-C-produced application. (The only
+difference is the compiler.) This means that, unlike a
+standardly-compiled Cygwin application, no extra runtime support
+(e.g. Cygwin's @file{cygwin1.dll}) is required.  This, along with the
+fact that GCC is free (and works in a nice Unix-y way in a nice Unix-y
+environment, for those die-hard Unix hackers out there), is the main
+advantage of MinGW.  It is also potentially faster than Cygwin because
+it has less overhead when calling Windows, but you lose the POSIX
+emulation layer, which makes Unix programs harder to port. (But this is
+irrelevant for XEmacs since it's already ported to Win32.)
+
+See @uref{http://www.mingw.org/} for more information on MinGW.

+Could you briefly explain the differences between them?
+
+Here is a recount of various Emacs versions running on MS Windows:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+
+@item
+XEmacs
+
+@itemize @minus
+
+@item
+Beginning with XEmacs 19.12, XEmacs' architecture was redesigned
+in such a way to allow clean support of multiple window systems.  At
+this time the TTY support was added, making X and TTY the first two
+"window systems" supported by XEmacs.  The 19.12 design is the basis for
+the current native MS Windows code.
+
+@item
+Some time during 1997, David Hobley (soon joined by Marc Paquette)
+imported some of the NT-specific portions of GNU Emacs, making XEmacs
+with X support compile under Windows NT, and creating the "X" port.
+
+@item
+Several months later, Jonathan Harris sent out initial patches to use
+the Win32 API, thus creating the native port.  Since then, various
+people have contributed, including Kirill M. Katsnelson (contributed
+support for menubars, subprocesses and network, as well as loads of
+other code), Andy Piper (ported XEmacs to Cygwin environment,
+contributed Windows unexec, Windows-specific glyphs and toolbars code,
+and more), Ben Wing (loads of improvements; primary MS Windows developer
+since 2000), Jeff Sparkes (contributed scrollbars support) and many

+GNU Emacs features support for MS-DOS and DJGPP (D.J. Delorie's DOS

+@unnumberedsubsec Q1.2.7: How does the port cope with differences in the Windows user interface?
+
+The XEmacs (and Emacs in general) user interface is pretty different
+from what is expected of a typical MS Windows program.  How does the MS
+Windows port cope with it?
+
+As a general rule, we follow native MS Windows conventions as much as
+possible.  21.4 is a fairly complete Windows application, supporting
+native printing, system file dialog boxes, tool tips, etc.  In cases
+where there's a clear UI conflict, we currently use normal Unix XEmacs
+behavior by default, but make sure the MS Windows "look and feel" (mark
+via shift-arrow, self-inserting deletes region, Alt selects menu items,
+etc.) is easily configurable (respectively: using the variable
+@code{shifted-motion-keys-select-region} in 21.4 and above [it's in fact
+the default in these versions], or the @file{pc-select} package; using
+the @file{pending-del} package; and setting the variable
+@code{menu-accelerator-enabled} to @code{menu-force} in 21.4 and above).
+In fact, if you use the sample @file{init.el} file as your init file,
+you will get all these behaviors automatically turned on.
+
+In future versions, some of these features might be turned on by
+default in the MS Windows environment.

+@unnumberedsubsec Q1.3.1: What is an @file{init.el} or @file{.emacs} and is there a sample one?
+
+The @file{init.el} or @file{.emacs} file is used to customize XEmacs to
+your tastes.  Starting in 21.4, the preferred location for the init file
+is @file{~/.xemacs/init.el}; in previous versions, it was
+@file{~/.emacs}.  21.4 still accepts the old location, but the first
+time you run it, it will ask to migrate your file to the new location.
+If you answer yes, the file will be moved, and a "compatibility"
+@file{.emacs} file will be placed in the old location so that you can
+still run older versions of XEmacs, and versions of GNU Emacs, which
+expect the old location.  The @file{.emacs} file present is just a stub
+that loads the real file in @file{~/.xemacs/init.el}.
+
+No two init files are alike, nor are they expected to be alike, but
+that's the point.  The XEmacs distribution contains an excellent starter
+example in the @file{etc/} directory called @file{sample.init.el}
+(starting in 21.4) or @file{sample.emacs} in older versions.  Copy this
+file from there to @file{~/.xemacs/init.el} (starting in 21.4) or
+@file{~/.emacs} in older versions, where @samp{~} means your home
+directory, of course.  Then edit it to suit.
+
+You may bring the @file{sample.init.el} or @file{sample.emacs} file into
+an XEmacs buffer from the menubar. (The menu entry for it is always
+under the @samp{Help} menu, but its location under that has changed in
+various versions.  Recently, look under the @samp{Samples} submenu.)  To
+determine the location of the @file{etc/} directory type the command
+@kbd{C-h v data-directory @key{RET}}.

+@node Q1.3.2, Q1.3.3, Q1.3.1, Introduction
+@unnumberedsubsec Q1.3.2: Where do I put my @file{init.el} file?
+
+@file{init.el} is the name of the init file starting with 21.4, and is
+located in the subdirectory @file{.xemacs/} of your home directory.  In
+prior versions, the init file is called @file{.emacs} and is located in
+your home directory.
+
+Your home directory under Windows is determined by the @samp{HOME}
+environment variable.  If this is not set, it defaults to @samp{C:\}.
+To set this variable, modify @file{AUTOEXEC.BAT} under Windows 95/98, or

+@node Q1.3.5, Q1.3.6, Q1.3.4, Introduction
+@unnumberedsubsec Q1.3.5: May I see an example of a useful XEmacs Lisp function?
+
+The following function does a little bit of everything useful.  It does
+something with the prefix argument, it examines the text around the
+cursor, and it's interactive so it may be bound to a key.  It inserts
+copies of the current word the cursor is sitting on at the cursor.  If
+you give it a prefix argument: @kbd{C-u 3 M-x double-word} then it will
+insert 3 copies.
+
+@lisp
+(defun double-word (count)
+  "Insert a copy of the current word underneath the cursor"
+  (interactive "*p")
+  (let (here there string)
+    (save-excursion
+      (forward-word -1)
+      (setq here (point))
+      (forward-word 1)
+      (setq there (point))
+      (setq string (buffer-substring here there)))
+    (while (>= count 1)
+      (insert string)
+      (decf count))))
+@end lisp
+
+The best way to see what is going on here is to let XEmacs tell you.
+Put the code into an XEmacs buffer, and do a @kbd{C-h f} with the cursor
+sitting just to the right of the function you want explained.  Eg.  move
+the cursor to the SPACE between @code{interactive} and @samp{"*p"} and
+hit @kbd{C-h f} to see what the function @code{interactive} does.  Doing
+this will tell you that the @code{*} requires a writable buffer, and
+@code{p} converts the prefix argument to a number, and
+@code{interactive} allows you to execute the command with @kbd{M-x}.
+
+@node Q1.3.6, Q1.3.7, Q1.3.5, Introduction

+To bind to a key do:

+@node Q1.3.7, Q1.3.8, Q1.3.6, Introduction
+@unnumberedsubsec Q1.3.7: What's the difference between a macro and a function?
+
+Quoting from the Lisp Reference (a.k.a @dfn{Lispref}) Manual:
+
+@dfn{Macros} enable you to define new control constructs and other
+language features.  A macro is defined much like a function, but instead
+of telling how to compute a value, it tells how to compute another Lisp
+expression which will in turn compute the value.  We call this
+expression the @dfn{expansion} of the macro.
+
+Macros can do this because they operate on the unevaluated expressions
+for the arguments, not on the argument values as functions do.  They can
+therefore construct an expansion containing these argument expressions
+or parts of them.
+
+Do not confuse the two terms with @dfn{keyboard macros}, which are
+another matter, entirely.  A keyboard macro is a key bound to several
+other keys.  Refer to manual for details.

-@node Q1.1.1, Q1.1.2, Q1.0.14, Introduction
-@unnumberedsubsec Q1.1.1: Do I need X11 to run XEmacs?
-
-No.  The name @dfn{XEmacs} is unfortunate in the sense that it is
-@strong{not} an X Window System-only version of Emacs.  XEmacs has
-full color support on a color-capable character terminal.
-
-@node Q1.1.2, Q1.1.3, Q1.1.1, Introduction
-@unnumberedsubsec Q1.1.2: Is there a port of XEmacs to Microsoft Windows?
-
-Yes.  Beginning with release 21.0, XEmacs has worked under MS Windows
-and is fully-featured and actively developed.  A group of dedicated
-developers actively maintains and improves the Windows-specific
-portions of the code.  Some of the core developers, in fact, use
-Windows as their only development environment, and some features, such
-as printing, actually work better on Windows than native Unix and Mac
-OS X.  The mailing list at @email{xemacs-winnt@@xemacs.org} is dedicated
-to that effort (please use the -request address to
-subscribe). (Despite its name, XEmacs actually works on all versions
-of Windows.)
-
-The list name is misleading, as XEmacs supports and has been compiled on
-Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows
-XP, and all newer versions of Windows.  The MS Windows-specific code is
-based on Microsoft Win32 API, and will not work on MS Windows 3.x or on
-MS-DOS.
-
-XEmacs also supports the Cygwin and MinGW development and runtime
-environments, where it also uses native Windows code for graphical
-features.  In addition, under Cygwin it is possible to compile XEmacs
-to use an X server (and XFree86 is available as part of the standard
-Cygwin installation).
-
-@node Q1.1.3, Q1.1.4, Q1.1.2, Introduction
-@unnumberedsubsec Q1.1.3: Can I build XEmacs on MS Windows with X support?  Do I need to?
-
-Yes, you can, but no you do not need to.  In fact, we recommend that you
-use a native-GUI version unless you have a specific need for an X
-version.
-
-@node Q1.1.4, Q1.1.5, Q1.1.3, Introduction
-@unnumberedsubsec Q1.1.4: What are Cygwin and MinGW, and do I need them to run XEmacs?
-
-To answer the second part of the question: No, you, you don't need
-Cygwin or MinGW to build or to run XEmacs.  But if you have them and
-want to use them, XEmacs supports these environments.
-
-(One important reason to support Cygwin is that it lets the MS Windows
-developers test out their code in a Unix environment without actually
-having to have a Unix machine around.  For this reason alone, Cygwin
-support is likely to remain supported for a long time in XEmacs.  Same
-goes for the X support under Cygwin, for the same reasons.  MinGW
-support, on the other hand, depends on volunteers to keep it up to date;
-but this is generally not hard.)
-
-Cygwin is a set of tools providing Unix-like API on top of Win32.
-It makes it easy to port large Unix programs without significant
-changes to their source code.  It is a development environment as well
-as a runtime environment.
-
-When built with Cygwin, XEmacs supports all display types -- TTY, X &
-Win32 GUI, and can be built with support for all three simultaneously.
-If you build with Win32 GUI support then the Cygwin version uses the
-majority of the Windows-specific code, which is mostly related to
-display.  If you want to build with X support you need X libraries (and
-an X server to display XEmacs on); see @ref{Q2.2.7}.  TTY and Win32 GUI
-require no additional libraries beyond what comes standard with Cygwin.
-
-The advantages of the Cygwin version are that it integrates well with
-the Cygwin environment for existing Cygwin users; uses configure so
-building with different features is very easy; and actively supports X &
-TTY.  Furthermore, the entire Cygwin environment and compiler are free,
-whereas Visual C++ costs money.
-
-The disadvantage is that it requires the whole Cygwin environment,
-whereas the native port requires only a suitable MS Windows compiler.
-Also, it follows the Unix filesystem and process model very closely
-(some will undoubtedly view this as an advantage).
-
-See @uref{http://www.cygwin.com/} for more information on
-Cygwin.
-
-MinGW is a collection of header files and import libraries that allow
-one to use GCC under the Cygwin environment to compile and produce
-exactly the same native Win32 programs that you can using Visual C++.
-Programs compiled with MinGW make use of the standard Microsoft runtime
-library @file{MSVCRT.DLL}, present on all Windows systems, and look,
-feel, and act like a standard Visual-C-produced application. (The only
-difference is the compiler.) This means that, unlike a
-standardly-compiled Cygwin application, no extra runtime support
-(e.g. Cygwin's @file{cygwin1.dll}) is required.  This, along with the
-fact that GCC is free (and works in a nice Unix-y way in a nice Unix-y
-environment, for those die-hard Unix hackers out there), is the main
-advantage of MinGW.  It is also potentially faster than Cygwin because
-it has less overhead when calling Windows, but you lose the POSIX
-emulation layer, which makes Unix programs harder to port. (But this is
-irrelevant for XEmacs since it's already ported to Win32.)
-
-See @uref{http://www.mingw.org/} for more information on MinGW.

-@unnumberedsubsec Q1.1.5: What are the differences between the various MS Windows emacsen?
-
-XEmacs, Win-Emacs, DOS Emacs, NT Emacs, this is all very confusing.
-Could you briefly explain the differences between them?
-
-Here is a recount of various Emacs versions running on MS Windows:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-
-@item
-XEmacs
-
-@itemize @minus
-
-@item
-Beginning with XEmacs 19.12, XEmacs' architecture was redesigned
-in such a way to allow clean support of multiple window systems.  At
-this time the TTY support was added, making X and TTY the first two
-"window systems" supported by XEmacs.  The 19.12 design is the basis for
-the current native MS Windows code.
-
-@item
-Some time during 1997, David Hobley (soon joined by Marc Paquette)
-imported some of the NT-specific portions of GNU Emacs, making XEmacs
-with X support compile under Windows NT, and creating the "X" port.
-
-@item
-Several months later, Jonathan Harris sent out initial patches to use
-the Win32 API, thus creating the native port.  Since then, various
-people have contributed, including Kirill M. Katsnelson (contributed
-support for menubars, subprocesses and network, as well as loads of
-other code), Andy Piper (ported XEmacs to Cygwin environment,
-contributed Windows unexec, Windows-specific glyphs and toolbars code,
-and more), Ben Wing (loads of improvements; primary MS Windows developer
-since 2000), Jeff Sparkes (contributed scrollbars support) and many
-others.
-@end itemize
-
-@item
-NT Emacs
-
-@itemize @minus
-
-@item
-NT Emacs was an early version of GNU Emacs 19 modified to compile and
-run under MS Windows 95 and NT using the native Win32 API.  It was
-written by Geoff Voelker, and has long since been incorporated into
-the mainline GNU Emacs distribution.
-@end itemize
-
-@item
-Win-Emacs
-
-@itemize @minus
-
-@item
-Win-Emacs was a port of Lucid Emacs 19.6 to MS Windows using X
-compatibility libraries.  Win-Emacs was written by Ben Wing.  The MS
-Windows code never made it back to Lucid Emacs, and its creator (Pearl
-Software) has long since gone out of business.
-@end itemize
-
-@item
-GNU Emacs for DOS
-
-@itemize @minus
-
-@item
-GNU Emacs features support for MS-DOS and DJGPP (D.J. Delorie's DOS
-port of GCC).  Such an Emacs is heavily underfeatured, because it does
-not support long file names, lacks proper subprocesses support, and
-is far too big compared with typical DOS editors.
-@end itemize
-
-@item
-GNU Emacs compiled with Win32
-
-@itemize @minus
-
-@item
-Starting with GNU Emacs 19.30, it has been possible to compile GNU Emacs
-under MS Windows using the DJGPP compiler and X libraries.  The result
-is very similar to GNU Emacs compiled under MS DOS, only it works
-somewhat better because it runs in 32-bit mode, makes use of all the
-system memory, supports long file names, etc.

-@unnumberedsubsec Q1.1.6: Is there a port of XEmacs to the Macintosh?
-
-Yes.
-
-XEmacs 21.5 (perhaps 21.4 also?) works on MacOS X, although it certainly
-will not feel very much like a Mac application as it has no Mac-specific
-code in it.
-
-There is also a port of XEmacs 19.14 that works on all recent versions
-of MacOS, from 8.1 through MacOS X, by @email{pjarvis@@ispchannel.com,
-Pitts Jarvis} (recently deceased).  It runs in an equivalent of TTY
-mode only (one single Macintosh window, 25 colors), but has a large
-number of Mac-specific additions.  It's available at

-
-@node Q1.1.9, Q1.2.1, Q1.1.8, Introduction
-@unnumberedsubsec Q1.1.9: How does the port cope with differences in the Windows user interface?
-
-The XEmacs (and Emacs in general) user interface is pretty different
-from what is expected of a typical MS Windows program.  How does the MS
-Windows port cope with it?
-
-As a general rule, we follow native MS Windows conventions as much as
-possible.  21.4 is a fairly complete Windows application, supporting
-native printing, system file dialog boxes, tool tips, etc.  In cases
-where there's a clear UI conflict, we currently use normal Unix XEmacs
-behavior by default, but make sure the MS Windows "look and feel" (mark
-via shift-arrow, self-inserting deletes region, Alt selects menu items,
-etc.) is easily configurable (respectively: using the variable
-@code{shifted-motion-keys-select-region} in 21.4 and above [it's in fact
-the default in these versions], or the @file{pc-select} package; using
-the @file{pending-del} package; and setting the variable
-@code{menu-accelerator-enabled} to @code{menu-force} in 21.4 and above).
-In fact, if you use the sample @file{init.el} file as your init file,
-you will get all these behaviors automatically turned on.
-
-In future versions, some of these features might be turned on by
-default in the MS Windows environment.

-@node Q1.3.1, Q1.3.2, Q1.2.3, Introduction
-@unnumberedsubsec Q1.3.1: Who wrote XEmacs?
-
-XEmacs is the result of the time and effort of many people, and the
-active developers have changed over time.  There are two major
-components of the XEmacs effort -- writing the code itself and providing
-all the support work (testing the code, releasing beta and final
-versions, handling patches, reading bug reports, maintaining the web
-site, managing the mailing lists, etc. etc.).  Neither component would
-work without the other.
-
-@subheading CODING
-
-The primary code contributor over the years has been Ben Wing (active
-since late 1992).  Between 1991 and 1995, large amounts of coding was
-contributed by Jamie Zawinski and Chuck Thompson.  Many other people
-have authored major subsystems or otherwise contributed large amounts of
-code, including Andy Piper, Hrvoje Niksic, Jerry James, Jonathan Harris,

-@unnumberedsubsec Q1.5.1: What is an @file{init.el} or @file{.emacs} and is there a sample one?
-
-The @file{init.el} or @file{.emacs} file is used to customize XEmacs to
-your tastes.  Starting in 21.4, the preferred location for the init file
-is @file{~/.xemacs/init.el}; in previous versions, it was
-@file{~/.emacs}.  21.4 still accepts the old location, but the first
-time you run it, it will ask to migrate your file to the new location.
-If you answer yes, the file will be moved, and a "compatibility"
-@file{.emacs} file will be placed in the old location so that you can
-still run older versions of XEmacs, and versions of GNU Emacs, which
-expect the old location.  The @file{.emacs} file present is just a stub
-that loads the real file in @file{~/.xemacs/init.el}.
-
-No two init files are alike, nor are they expected to be alike, but
-that's the point.  The XEmacs distribution contains an excellent starter
-example in the @file{etc/} directory called @file{sample.init.el}
-(starting in 21.4) or @file{sample.emacs} in older versions.  Copy this
-file from there to @file{~/.xemacs/init.el} (starting in 21.4) or
-@file{~/.emacs} in older versions, where @samp{~} means your home
-directory, of course.  Then edit it to suit.
-
-You may bring the @file{sample.init.el} or @file{sample.emacs} file into
-an XEmacs buffer from the menubar. (The menu entry for it is always
-under the @samp{Help} menu, but its location under that has changed in
-various versions.  Recently, look under the @samp{Samples} submenu.)  To
-determine the location of the @file{etc/} directory type the command

-@node Q1.5.2, Q1.5.3, Q1.5.1, Introduction
-@unnumberedsubsec Q1.5.2: Where do I put my @file{init.el} file?
-
-@file{init.el} is the name of the init file starting with 21.4, and is
-located in the subdirectory @file{.xemacs/} of your home directory.  In
-prior versions, the init file is called @file{.emacs} and is located in
-your home directory.
-
-Your home directory under Windows is determined by the @samp{HOME}
-environment variable.  If this is not set, it defaults to @samp{C:\}.
-To set this variable, modify @file{AUTOEXEC.BAT} under Windows 95/98, or

-@unnumberedsubsec Q1.5.5: May I see an example of a useful XEmacs Lisp function?
-
-The following function does a little bit of everything useful.  It does
-something with the prefix argument, it examines the text around the
-cursor, and it's interactive so it may be bound to a key.  It inserts
-copies of the current word the cursor is sitting on at the cursor.  If
-you give it a prefix argument: @kbd{C-u 3 M-x double-word} then it will
-insert 3 copies.
-
-@lisp
-(defun double-word (count)
-  "Insert a copy of the current word underneath the cursor"
-  (interactive "*p")
-  (let (here there string)
-    (save-excursion
-      (forward-word -1)
-      (setq here (point))
-      (forward-word 1)
-      (setq there (point))
-      (setq string (buffer-substring here there)))
-    (while (>= count 1)
-      (insert string)
-      (decf count))))
-@end lisp
-
-The best way to see what is going on here is to let XEmacs tell you.
-Put the code into an XEmacs buffer, and do a @kbd{C-h f} with the cursor
-sitting just to the right of the function you want explained.  Eg.  move
-the cursor to the SPACE between @code{interactive} and @samp{"*p"} and
-hit @kbd{C-h f} to see what the function @code{interactive} does.  Doing
-this will tell you that the @code{*} requires a writable buffer, and
-@code{p} converts the prefix argument to a number, and
-@code{interactive} allows you to execute the command with @kbd{M-x}.

-@unnumberedsubsec Q1.5.7: What's the difference between a macro and a function?
-
-Quoting from the Lisp Reference (a.k.a @dfn{Lispref}) Manual:
-
-@dfn{Macros} enable you to define new control constructs and other
-language features.  A macro is defined much like a function, but instead
-of telling how to compute a value, it tells how to compute another Lisp
-expression which will in turn compute the value.  We call this
-expression the @dfn{expansion} of the macro.
-
-Macros can do this because they operate on the unevaluated expressions
-for the arguments, not on the argument values as functions do.  They can
-therefore construct an expansion containing these argument expressions
-or parts of them.
-
-Do not confuse the two terms with @dfn{keyboard macros}, which are
-another matter, entirely.  A keyboard macro is a key bound to several
-other keys.  Refer to manual for details.
