+
+The Options Menu
+----------------
+
+ The Options pull-down menu contains the Read Only, Case Sensitive
+Search, Overstrike, Auto Delete Selection, Teach Extended Commands,
+Syntax Highlighting, Paren Highlighting, Font, Size, Weight, Buffers
+Menu Length..., Buffers Sub-Menus and Save Options menu items. When
+you select a menu item, Emacs executes the equivalent command. For
+some of the menu items, there are sub-menus which you will need to
+select.
+
+Read Only
+ Selecting this item will cause the buffer to visit the file in a
+ read-only mode. Changes to the file will not be allowed. This is
+ equivalent to the Emacs command `toggle-read-only' (`C-x C-q').
+
+Case Sensitive Search
+ Selecting this item will cause searches to be case-sensitive. If
+ its not selected then searches will ignore case. This option is
+ local to the buffer.
+
+Overstrike
+ After selecting this item, when you type letters they will replace
+ existing text on a one-to-one basis, rather than pushing it to the
+ right. At the end of a line, such characters extend the line.
+ Before a tab, such characters insert until the tab is filled in.
+ This is the same as Emacs command `quoted-insert' (`C-q').
+
+Auto Delete Selection
+ Selecting this item will cause automatic deletion of the selected
+ region. The typed text will replace the selection if the selection
+ is active (i.e. if its highlighted). If the option is not selected
+ then the typed text is just inserted at the point.
+
+Teach Extended Commands
+ After you select this item, any time you execute a command with
+ `M-x'which has a shorter keybinding, you will be shown the
+ alternate binding before the command executes.
+
+Syntax Highlighting
+ You can customize your `.emacs' file to include the font-lock mode
+ so that when you select this item, the comments will be displayed
+ in one face, strings in another, reserved words in another, and so
+ on. When Fonts is selected, different parts of the program will
+ appear in different Fonts. When Colors is selected, then the
+ program will be displayed in different colors. Selecting None
+ causes the program to appear in just one Font and Color. Selecting
+ Less resets the Fonts and Colors to a fast, minimal set of
+ decorations. Selecting More resets the Fonts and Colors to a larger
+ set of decorations. For example, if Less is selected (which is the
+ default setting) then you might have all comments in green color.
+ Whereas, if More is selected then a function name in the comments
+ themselves might appear in a different Color or Font.
+
+Paren Highlighting
+ After selecting Blink from this item, if you place the cursor on a
+ parenthesis, the matching parenthesis will blink. If you select
+ Highlight and place the cursor on a parenthesis, the whole
+ expression of the parenthesis under the cursor will be highlighted.
+ Selecting None will turn off the options (regarding Paren
+ Highlighting) which you had selected earlier.
+
+Font
+ You can select any Font for your program by choosing from one of
+ the available Fonts.
+
+Size
+ You can select any size ranging from 2 to 24 by selecting the
+ appropriate option.
+
+Weight
+ You can choose either Bold or Medium for the weight.
+
+Buffers Menu Length...
+ Prompts you for the number of buffers to display. Then it will
+ display that number of most recently selected buffers.
+
+Buffers Sub-Menus
+ After selection of this item the Buffers menu will contain several
+ commands, as submenus of each buffer line. If this item is
+ unselected, then there are no submenus for each buffer line, the
+ only command available will be selecting that buffer.
+
+Save Options
+ Selecting this item will save the current settings of your Options
+ menu to your `.emacs' file.

+
+The Buffers Menu
+----------------
+
+ The Buffers menu provides a selection of up to ten buffers and the
+item List All Buffers, which provides a Buffer List. *Note List

+
+The Tools Menu
+--------------
+
+ The Tools pull-down menu contains the Grep..., Compile..., Shell
+Command..., Shell Command on Region..., Debug(GDB)... and
+Debug(DBX)... menu items, and the Compare, Merge, Apply Patch and Tags
+sub-menus. When you select a menu item, Emacs executes the equivalent
+command. For some of the menu items, there are sub-menus which you
+will need to select.

+
+The Help Menu
+-------------
+
+ The Help Menu gives you access to Emacs Info and provides a menu
+equivalent for each of the choices you have when using `C-h'. *Note
+Help::, for more information.
+
+ The Help menu also gives access to UNIX online manual pages via the
+UNIX Manual Page option.

+
+Customizing XEmacs Menus
+------------------------
+
+ You can customize any of the pull-down menus by adding or removing
+menu items and disabling or enabling existing menu items.
+
+ The following functions are available:
+`add-menu: (MENU-PATH MENU-NAME MENU-ITEMS &OPTIONAL BEFORE)'
+ Add a menu to the menu bar or one of its submenus.
+
+`add-menu-item: (MENU-PATH ITEM-NAME FUNCTION ENABLED-P
+ &optional before)' Add a menu item to a menu, creating the menu
+ first if necessary.
+
+`delete-menu-item: (PATH)'
+ Remove the menu item defined by PATH from the menu hierarchy.
+
+`disable-menu-item: (PATH)'
+ Disable the specified menu item.
+
+`enable-menu-item: (PATH)'
+ Enable the specified previously disabled menu item.
+
+`relabel-menu-item: (PATH NEW-NAME)'
+ Change the string of the menu item specified by PATH to NEW-NAME.
+
+ Use the function `add-menu' to add a new menu or submenu. If a menu
+or submenu of the given name exists already, it is changed.
+
+ MENU-PATH identifies the menu under which the new menu should be
+inserted. It is a list of strings; for example, `("File")' names the
+top-level File menu. `("File" "Foo")' names a hypothetical submenu of
+File. If MENU-PATH is `nil', the menu is added to the menu bar itself.
+
+ MENU-NAME is the string naming the menu to be added.
+
+ MENU-ITEMS is a list of menu item descriptions. Each menu item
+should be a vector of three elements:
+
+ * A string, which is the name of the menu item
+
+ * A symbol naming a command, or a form to evaluate
+
+ * `t' or `nil' to indicate whether the item is selectable
+
+ The optional argument BEFORE is the name of the menu before which
+the new menu or submenu should be added. If the menu is already
+present, it is not moved.
+
+ The function `add-menu-item' adds a menu item to the specified menu,
+creating the menu first if necessary. If the named item already
+exists, the menu remains unchanged.
+
+ MENU-PATH identifies the menu into which the new menu item should be
+inserted. It is a list of strings; for example, `("File")' names the
+top-level File menu. `("File" "Foo")' names a hypothetical submenu of
+File.
+
+ ITEM-NAME is the string naming the menu item to add.
+
+ FUNCTION is the command to invoke when this menu item is selected.
+If it is a symbol, it is invoked with `call-interactively', in the same
+way that functions bound to keys are invoked. If it is a list, the
+list is simply evaluated.
+
+ ENABLED-P controls whether the item is selectable or not. It should
+be `t', `nil', or a form to evaluate to decide. This form will be
+evaluated just before the menu is displayed, and the menu item will be
+selectable if that form returns non-`nil'.
+
+ For example, to make the `rename-file' command available from the
+File menu, use the following code:
+
+ (add-menu-item '("File") "Rename File" 'rename-file t)
+
+ To add a submenu of file management commands using a File Management
+item, use the following code:
+
+ (add-menu-item '("File" "File Management") "Copy File" 'copy-file t)
+ (add-menu-item '("File" "File Management") "Delete File" 'delete-file t)
+ (add-menu-item '("File" "File Management") "Rename File" 'rename-file t)
+
+ The optional BEFORE argument is the name of a menu item before which
+the new item should be added. If the item is already present, it is
+not moved.
+
+ To remove a specified menu item from the menu hierarchy, use
+`delete-menu-item'.
+
+ PATH is a list of strings that identify the position of the menu
+item in the menu hierarchy. `("File" "Save")' means the menu item
+called Save under the top level File menu. `("Menu" "Foo" "Item")'
+means the menu item called Item under the Foo submenu of Menu.
+
+ To disable a menu item, use `disable-menu-item'. The disabled menu
+item is grayed and can no longer be selected. To make the item
+selectable again, use `enable-menu-item'. `disable-menu-item' and
+`enable-menu-item' both have the argument PATH.
+
+ To change the string of the specified menu item, use
+`relabel-menu-item'. This function also takes the argument PATH.
+
+ NEW-NAME is the string to which the menu item will be changed.

+
+Entering and Exiting Emacs
+**************************
+
+ The usual way to invoke Emacs is to type `emacs <RET>' at the shell
+(for XEmacs, type `xemacs <RET>'). Emacs clears the screen and then
+displays an initial advisory message and copyright notice. You can
+begin typing Emacs commands immediately afterward.
+
+ Some operating systems insist on discarding all type-ahead when Emacs
+starts up; they give Emacs no way to prevent this. Therefore, it is
+wise to wait until Emacs clears the screen before typing the first
+editing command.
+
+ Before Emacs reads the first command, you have not had a chance to
+give a command to specify a file to edit. Since Emacs must always have
+a current buffer for editing, it presents a buffer, by default, a
+buffer named `*scratch*'. The buffer is in Lisp Interaction mode; you
+can use it to type Lisp expressions and evaluate them, or you can
+ignore that capability and simply doodle. You can specify a different
+major mode for this buffer by setting the variable `initial-major-mode'
+in your init file. *Note Init File::.
+
+ It is possible to give Emacs arguments in the shell command line to
+specify files to visit, Lisp files to load, and functions to call.
