+Glossary
+********
+
+Abbrev
+ An abbrev is a text string which expands into a different text
+ string when present in the buffer. For example, you might define
+ a short word as an abbrev for a long phrase that you want to insert
+ frequently. *Note Abbrevs::.
+
+Aborting
+ Aborting means getting out of a recursive edit (q.v.). You can use
+ the commands `C-]' and `M-x top-level' for this. *Note Quitting::.
+
+Auto Fill mode
+ Auto Fill mode is a minor mode in which text you insert is
+ automatically broken into lines of fixed width. *Note Filling::.
+
+Auto Saving
+ Auto saving means that Emacs automatically stores the contents of
+ an Emacs buffer in a specially-named file so the information will
+ not be lost if the buffer is lost due to a system error or user
+ error. *Note Auto Save::.
+
+Backup File
+ A backup file records the contents that a file had before the
+ current editing session. Emacs creates backup files automatically
+ to help you track down or cancel changes you later regret. *Note
+ Backup::.
+
+Balance Parentheses
+ Emacs can balance parentheses manually or automatically. Manual
+ balancing is done by the commands to move over balanced expressions
+ (*note Lists::). Automatic balancing is done by blinking the
+ parenthesis that matches one just inserted (*note Matching Parens:
+ Matching.).
+
+Bind
+ To bind a key is to change its binding (q.v.). *Note Rebinding::.
+
+Binding
+ A key gets its meaning in Emacs by having a binding which is a
+ command (q.v.), a Lisp function that is run when the key is typed.
+ *Note Binding: Commands. Customization often involves rebinding a
+ character to a different command function. The bindings of all
+ keys are recorded in the keymaps (q.v.). *Note Keymaps::.
+
+Blank Lines
+ Blank lines are lines that contain only whitespace. Emacs has
+ several commands for operating on the blank lines in a buffer.
+
+Buffer
+ The buffer is the basic editing unit; one buffer corresponds to one
+ piece of text being edited. You can have several buffers, but at
+ any time you are editing only one, the `selected' buffer, though
+ several buffers can be visible when you are using multiple
+ windows. *Note Buffers::.
+
+Buffer Selection History
+ Emacs keeps a buffer selection history which records how recently
+ each Emacs buffer was selected. Emacs uses this list when
+ choosing a buffer to select. *Note Buffers::.
+
+C-
+ `C' in the name of a character is an abbreviation for Control.
+ *Note C-: Keystrokes.
+
+C-M-
+ `C-M-' in the name of a character is an abbreviation for
+ Control-Meta. *Note C-M-: Keystrokes.
+
+Case Conversion
+ Case conversion means changing text from upper case to lower case
+ or vice versa. *Note Case::, for the commands for case conversion.
+
+Characters
+ Characters form the contents of an Emacs buffer; also, Emacs
+ commands are invoked by keys (q.v.), which are sequences of one or
+ more characters. *Note Keystrokes::.
+
+Command
+ A command is a Lisp function specially defined to be able to serve
+ as a key binding in Emacs. When you type a key (q.v.), Emacs
+ looks up its binding (q.v.) in the relevant keymaps (q.v.) to find
+ the command to run. *Note Commands::.
+
+Command Name
+ A command name is the name of a Lisp symbol which is a command
+ (*note Commands::). You can invoke any command by its name using
+ `M-x' (*note M-x::).
+
+Comments
+ A comment is text in a program which is intended only for the
+ people reading the program, and is marked specially so that it
+ will be ignored when the program is loaded or compiled. Emacs
+ offers special commands for creating, aligning, and killing
+ comments. *Note Comments::.
+
+Compilation
+ Compilation is the process of creating an executable program from
+ source code. Emacs has commands for compiling files of Emacs Lisp
+ code (*note Lisp Libraries::) and programs in C and other languages
+ (*note Compilation::).
+
+Complete Key
+ A complete key is a character or sequence of characters which,
+ when typed by the user, fully specifies one action to be performed
+ by Emacs. For example, `X' and `Control-f' and `Control-x m' are
+ keys. Keys derive their meanings from being bound (q.v.) to
+ commands (q.v.). Thus, `X' is conventionally bound to a command
+ to insert `X' in the buffer; `C-x m' is conventionally bound to a
+ command to begin composing a mail message. *Note Keystrokes::.
+
+Completion
+ When Emacs automatically fills an abbreviation for a name into the
+ entire name, that process is called completion. Completion is
+ done for minibuffer (q.v.) arguments when the set of possible
+ valid inputs is known; for example, on command names, buffer
+ names, and file names. Completion occurs when you type <TAB>,
+ <SPC>, or <RET>. *Note Completion::.
+
+Continuation Line
+ When a line of text is longer than the width of the frame, it
+ takes up more than one screen line when displayed. We say that the
+ text line is continued, and all screen lines used for it after the
+ first are called continuation lines. *Note Continuation: Basic.
+
+Control-Character
+ ASCII characters with octal codes 0 through 037, and also code
+ 0177, do not have graphic images assigned to them. These are the
+ control characters. Any control character can be typed by holding
+ down the <CTRL> key and typing some other character; some have
+ special keys on the keyboard. <RET>, <TAB>, <ESC>, <LFD>, and
+ <DEL> are all control characters. *Note Keystrokes::.
+
+Copyleft
+ A copyleft is a notice giving the public legal permission to
+ redistribute a program or other work of art. Copylefts are used
+ by leftists to enrich the public just as copyrights are used by
+ rightists to gain power over the public.
+
+Current Buffer
+ The current buffer in Emacs is the Emacs buffer on which most
+ editing commands operate. You can select any Emacs buffer as the
+ current one. *Note Buffers::.
+
+Current Line
+ The line point is on (*note Point::).
+
+Current Paragraph
+ The paragraph that point is in. If point is between paragraphs,
+ the current paragraph is the one that follows point. *Note
+ Paragraphs::.
+
+Current Defun
+ The defun (q.v.) that point is in. If point is between defuns, the
+ current defun is the one that follows point. *Note Defuns::.
+
+Cursor
+ The cursor is the rectangle on the screen which indicates the
+ position called point (q.v.) at which insertion and deletion takes
+ place. The cursor is on or under the character that follows
+ point. Often people speak of `the cursor' when, strictly
+ speaking, they mean `point'. *Note Cursor: Basic.
+
+Customization
+ Customization is making minor changes in the way Emacs works. It
+ is often done by setting variables (*note Variables::) or by
+ rebinding keys (*note Keymaps::).
+
+Default Argument
+ The default for an argument is the value that is used if you do not
+ specify one. When Emacs prompts you in the minibuffer for an
+ argument, the default argument is used if you just type <RET>.
+ *Note Minibuffer::.
+
+Default Directory
+ When you specify a file name that does not start with `/' or `~',
+ it is interpreted relative to the current buffer's default
+ directory. *Note Default Directory: Minibuffer File.
+
+Defun
+ A defun is a list at the top level of parenthesis or bracket
+ structure in a program. It is so named because most such lists in
+ Lisp programs are calls to the Lisp function `defun'. *Note
+ Defuns::.
+
+<DEL>
+ The <DEL> character runs the command that deletes one character of
+ text. *Note DEL: Basic.
+
+Deletion
+ Deleting text means erasing it without saving it. Emacs deletes
+ text only when it is expected not to be worth saving (all
+ whitespace, or only one character). The alternative is killing
+ (q.v.). *Note Deletion: Killing.
+
+Deletion of Files
+ Deleting a file means removing it from the file system. *Note
+ Misc File Ops::.
+
+Deletion of Messages
+ Deleting a message means flagging it to be eliminated from your
+ mail file. Until the mail file is expunged, you can undo this by
+ undeleting the message.
+
+Deletion of Frames
+ When working under the multi-frame X-based version of XEmacs, you
+ can delete individual frames using the Close menu item from the
+ File menu.
+
+Deletion of Windows
+ When you delete a subwindow of an Emacs frame, you eliminate it
+ from the frame. Other windows expand to use up the space. The
+ deleted window can never come back, but no actual text is lost.
+ *Note Windows::.
+
+Directory
+ Files in the Unix file system are grouped into file directories.
+ *Note Directories: ListDir.
+
+Dired
+ Dired is the Emacs facility that displays the contents of a file
+ directory and allows you to "edit the directory", performing
+ operations on the files in the directory. *Note Dired::.
+
+Disabled Command
+ A disabled command is one that you may not run without special
+ confirmation. Commands are usually disabled because they are
+ confusing for beginning users. *Note Disabling::.
+
+Dribble File
+ A file into which Emacs writes all the characters that the user
+ types on the keyboard. Dribble files are used to make a record for
+ debugging Emacs bugs. Emacs does not make a dribble file unless
+ you tell it to. *Note Bugs::.
+
+Echo Area
+ The area at the bottom of the Emacs frame which is used for
+ echoing the arguments to commands, for asking questions, and for
+ printing brief messages (including error messages). *Note Echo
+ Area::.
+
+Echoing
+ Echoing refers to acknowledging the receipt of commands by
+ displaying them (in the echo area). Emacs never echoes
+ single-character keys; longer keys echo only if you pause while
+ typing them.
+
+Error
+ An error occurs when an Emacs command cannot execute in the current
+ circumstances. When an error occurs, execution of the command
+ stops (unless the command has been programmed to do otherwise) and
+ Emacs reports the error by printing an error message (q.v.).
+ Type-ahead is discarded. Then Emacs is ready to read another
+ editing command.
+
+Error Messages
+ Error messages are single lines of output printed by Emacs when the
+ user asks for something impossible to do (such as killing text
+ forward when point is at the end of the buffer). They appear in
+ the echo area, accompanied by a beep.
+
+<ESC>
+ <ESC> is a character used as a prefix for typing Meta characters on
+ keyboards lacking a <META> key. Unlike the <META> key (which,
+ like the <SHIFT> key, is held down while another character is
+ typed), the <ESC> key is pressed and released, and applies to the
+ next character typed.
+
+Fill Prefix
+ The fill prefix is a string that Emacs enters at the beginning of
+ each line when it performs filling. It is not regarded as part of
+ the text to be filled. *Note Filling::.
+
+Filling
+ Filling text means moving text from line to line so that all the
+ lines are approximately the same length. *Note Filling::.
+
+Frame
+ When running Emacs on a TTY terminal, "frame" means the terminal's
+ screen. When running Emacs under X, you can have multiple frames,
+ each corresponding to a top-level X window and each looking like
+ the screen on a TTY. Each frame contains one or more
+ non-overlapping Emacs windows (possibly with associated
+ scrollbars, under X), an echo area, and (under X) possibly a
+ menubar, toolbar, and/or gutter.
+
+Global
+ Global means `independent of the current environment; in effect
+ throughout Emacs'. It is the opposite of local (q.v.). Examples
+ of the use of `global' appear below.
+
+Global Abbrev
+ A global definition of an abbrev (q.v.) is effective in all major
+ modes that do not have local (q.v.) definitions for the same
+ abbrev. *Note Abbrevs::.
+
+Global Keymap
+ The global keymap (q.v.) contains key bindings that are in effect
+ unless local key bindings in a major mode's local keymap (q.v.)
+ override them.*Note Keymaps::.
+
+Global Substitution
+ Global substitution means replacing each occurrence of one string
+ by another string through a large amount of text. *Note Replace::.
+
+Global Variable
+ The global value of a variable (q.v.) takes effect in all buffers
+ that do not have their own local (q.v.) values for the variable.
+ *Note Variables::.
+
+Graphic Character
+ Graphic characters are those assigned pictorial images rather than
+ just names. All the non-Meta (q.v.) characters except for the
+ Control (q.v.) character are graphic characters. These include
+ letters, digits, punctuation, and spaces; they do not include
+ <RET> or <ESC>. In Emacs, typing a graphic character inserts that
+ character (in ordinary editing modes). *Note Basic Editing: Basic.
+
+Grinding
+ Grinding means adjusting the indentation in a program to fit the
+ nesting structure. *Note Grinding: Indentation.
+
+Hardcopy
+ Hardcopy means printed output. Emacs has commands for making
+ printed listings of text in Emacs buffers. *Note Hardcopy::.
+
+<HELP>
+ You can type <HELP> at any time to ask what options you have, or
+ to ask what any command does. <HELP> is really `Control-h'.
+ *Note Help::.
+
+Inbox
+ An inbox is a file in which mail is delivered by the operating
+ system. Some mail handlers transfers mail from inboxes to mail
+ files (q.v.) in which the mail is then stored permanently or until
+ explicitly deleted.
+
+Indentation
+ Indentation means blank space at the beginning of a line. Most
+ programming languages have conventions for using indentation to
+ illuminate the structure of the program, and Emacs has special
+ features to help you set up the correct indentation. *Note
+ Indentation::.
+
+Insertion
+ Insertion means copying text into the buffer, either from the
+ keyboard or from some other place in Emacs.
+
+Justification
+ Justification means adding extra spaces to lines of text to make
+ them come exactly to a specified width. *Note Justification:
+ Filling.
+
+Keyboard Macros
+ Keyboard macros are a way of defining new Emacs commands from
+ sequences of existing ones, with no need to write a Lisp program.
+ *Note Keyboard Macros::.
+
+Key
+ A key is a sequence of characters that, when input to Emacs,
+ specify or begin to specify a single action for Emacs to perform.
+ That is, the sequence is considered a single unit. If the key is
+ enough to specify one action, it is a complete key (q.v.); if it
+ is less than enough, it is a prefix key (q.v.). *Note
+ Keystrokes::.
+
+Keymap
+ The keymap is the data structure that records the bindings (q.v.)
+ of keys to the commands that they run. For example, the keymap
+ binds the character `C-n' to the command function `next-line'.
+ *Note Keymaps::.
+
+Kill Ring
+ The kill ring is the place where all text you have killed recently
+ is saved. You can re-insert any of the killed text still in the
+ ring; this is called yanking (q.v.). *Note Yanking::.
+
+Killing
+ Killing means erasing text and saving it on the kill ring so it
+ can be yanked (q.v.) later. Some other systems call this
+ "cutting." Most Emacs commands to erase text do killing, as
+ opposed to deletion (q.v.). *Note Killing::.
+
+Killing Jobs
+ Killing a job (such as, an invocation of Emacs) means making it
+ cease to exist. Any data within it, if not saved in a file, is
+ lost. *Note Exiting::.
+
+List
+ A list is, approximately, a text string beginning with an open
+ parenthesis and ending with the matching close parenthesis. In C
+ mode and other non-Lisp modes, groupings surrounded by other kinds
+ of matched delimiters appropriate to the language, such as braces,
+ are also considered lists. Emacs has special commands for many
+ operations on lists. *Note Lists::.
+
+Local
+ Local means `in effect only in a particular context'; the relevant
+ kind of context is a particular function execution, a particular
+ buffer, or a particular major mode. Local is the opposite of
+ `global' (q.v.). Specific uses of `local' in Emacs terminology
+ appear below.
+
+Local Abbrev
+ A local abbrev definition is effective only if a particular major
+ mode is selected. In that major mode, it overrides any global
+ definition for the same abbrev. *Note Abbrevs::.
+
+Local Keymap
+ A local keymap is used in a particular major mode; the key bindings
+ (q.v.) in the current local keymap override global bindings of the
+ same keys. *Note Keymaps::.
+
+Local Variable
+ A local value of a variable (q.v.) applies to only one buffer.
+ *Note Locals::.
+
+M-
+ `M-' in the name of a character is an abbreviation for <META>, one
+ of the modifier keys that can accompany any character. *Note
+ Keystrokes::.
+
+M-C-
+ `M-C-' in the name of a character is an abbreviation for
+ Control-Meta; it means the same thing as `C-M-'. If your terminal
+ lacks a real <META> key, you type a Control-Meta character by
+ typing <ESC> and then typing the corresponding Control character.
+ *Note C-M-: Keystrokes.
+
+M-x
+ `M-x' is the key which is used to call an Emacs command by name.
+ You use it to call commands that are not bound to keys. *Note
+ M-x::.
+
+Mail
+ Mail means messages sent from one user to another through the
+ computer system, to be read at the recipient's convenience. Emacs
+ has commands for composing and sending mail, and for reading and
+ editing the mail you have received. *Note Sending Mail::.
+
+Major Mode
+ The major modes are a mutually exclusive set of options each of
+ which configures Emacs for editing a certain sort of text.
+ Ideally, each programming language has its own major mode. *Note
+ Major Modes::.
+
+Mark
+ The mark points to a position in the text. It specifies one end
+ of the region (q.v.), point being the other end. Many commands
+ operate on the whole region, that is, all the text from point to
+ the mark. *Note Mark::.
+
+Mark Ring
+ The mark ring is used to hold several recent previous locations of
+ the mark, just in case you want to move back to them. *Note Mark
+ Ring::.
+
+Message
+ See `mail'.
+
+Meta
+ Meta is the name of a modifier bit which a command character may
+ have. It is present in a character if the character is typed with
+ the <META> key held down. Such characters are given names that
+ start with `Meta-'. For example, `Meta-<' is typed by holding down
+ <META> and at the same time typing `<' (which itself is done, on
+ most terminals, by holding down <SHIFT> and typing `,'). *Note
+ Meta: Keystrokes.
+
+Meta Character
+ A Meta character is one whose character code includes the Meta bit.
+
+Minibuffer
+ The minibuffer is the window that Emacs displays inside the echo
+ area (q.v.) when it prompts you for arguments to commands. *Note
+ Minibuffer::.
+
+Minor Mode
+ A minor mode is an optional feature of Emacs which can be switched
+ on or off independent of the major mode. Each minor mode has a
+ command to turn it on or off. *Note Minor Modes::.
+
+Mode Line
+ The mode line is the line at the bottom of each text window (q.v.),
+ which gives status information on the buffer displayed in that
+ window. *Note Mode Line::.
+
+Modified Buffer
+ A buffer (q.v.) is modified if its text has been changed since the
+ last time the buffer was saved (or since it was created, if it has
+ never been saved). *Note Saving::.
+
+Moving Text
+ Moving text means erasing it from one place and inserting it in
+ another. This is done by killing (q.v.) and then yanking (q.v.).
+ *Note Killing::.
+
+Named Mark
+ A named mark is a register (q.v.) in its role of recording a
+ location in text so that you can move point to that location.
+ *Note Registers::.
+
+Narrowing
+ Narrowing means creating a restriction (q.v.) that limits editing
+ in the current buffer to only a part of the text in the buffer.
+ Text outside that part is inaccessible to the user until the
+ boundaries are widened again, but it is still there, and saving
+ the file saves the invisible text. *Note Narrowing::.
+
+Newline
+ <LFD> characters in the buffer terminate lines of text and are
+ called newlines. *Note Newline: Keystrokes.
+
+Numeric Argument
+ A numeric argument is a number, specified before a command, to
+ change the effect of the command. Often the numeric argument
+ serves as a repeat count. *Note Arguments::.
+
+Option
+ An option is a variable (q.v.) that allows you to customize Emacs
+ by giving it a new value. *Note Variables::.
+
+Overwrite Mode
+ Overwrite mode is a minor mode. When it is enabled, ordinary text
+ characters replace the existing text after point rather than
+ pushing it to the right. *Note Minor Modes::.
+
+Page
+ A page is a unit of text, delimited by formfeed characters (ASCII
+ Control-L, code 014) coming at the beginning of a line. Some Emacs
+ commands are provided for moving over and operating on pages.
+ *Note Pages::.
+
+Paragraphs
+ Paragraphs are the medium-size unit of English text. There are
+ special Emacs commands for moving over and operating on paragraphs.
+ *Note Paragraphs::.
+
+Parsing
+ We say that Emacs parses words or expressions in the text being
+ edited. Really, all it knows how to do is find the other end of a
+ word or expression. *Note Syntax::.
+
+Point
+ Point is the place in the buffer at which insertion and deletion
+ occur. Point is considered to be between two characters, not at
+ one character. The terminal's cursor (q.v.) indicates the
+ location of point. *Note Point: Basic.
+
+Prefix Key
+ A prefix key is a key (q.v.) whose sole function is to introduce a
+ set of multi-character keys. `Control-x' is an example of a prefix
+ key; any two-character sequence starting with `C-x' is also a
+ legitimate key. *Note Keystrokes::.
+
+Prompt
+ A prompt is text printed to ask the user for input. Printing a
+ prompt is called prompting. Emacs prompts always appear in the
+ echo area (q.v.). One kind of prompting happens when the
+ minibuffer is used to read an argument (*note Minibuffer::); the
+ echoing which happens when you pause in the middle of typing a
+ multi-character key is also a kind of prompting (*note Echo
+ Area::).
+
+Quitting
+ Quitting means cancelling a partially typed command or a running
+ command, using `C-g'. *Note Quitting::.
+
+Quoting
+ Quoting means depriving a character of its usual special
+ significance. In Emacs this is usually done with `Control-q'.
+ What constitutes special significance depends on the context and
+ on convention. For example, an "ordinary" character as an Emacs
+ command inserts itself; so in this context, a special character is
+ any character that does not normally insert itself (such as <DEL>,
+ for example), and quoting it makes it insert itself as if it were
+ not special. Not all contexts allow quoting. *Note Quoting:
+ Basic.
+
+Read-only Buffer
+ A read-only buffer is one whose text you are not allowed to change.
+ Normally Emacs makes buffers read-only when they contain text which
+ has a special significance to Emacs, such as Dired buffers.
+ Visiting a file that is write-protected also makes a read-only
+ buffer. *Note Buffers::.
+
+Recursive Editing Level
+ A recursive editing level is a state in which part of the
+ execution of a command involves asking the user to edit some text.
+ This text may or may not be the same as the text to which the
+ command was applied. The mode line indicates recursive editing
+ levels with square brackets (`[' and `]'). *Note Recursive Edit::.
+
+Redisplay
+ Redisplay is the process of correcting the image on the screen to
+ correspond to changes that have been made in the text being edited.
+ *Note Redisplay: Frame.
+
+Regexp
+ See `regular expression'.
+
+Region
+ The region is the text between point (q.v.) and the mark (q.v.).
+ Many commands operate on the text of the region. *Note Region:
+ Mark.
+
+Registers
+ Registers are named slots in which text or buffer positions or
+ rectangles can be saved for later use. *Note Registers::.
+
+Regular Expression
+ A regular expression is a pattern that can match various text
+ strings; for example, `l[0-9]+' matches `l' followed by one or more
+ digits. *Note Regexps::.
+
+Replacement
+ See `global substitution'.
+
+Restriction
+ A buffer's restriction is the amount of text, at the beginning or
+ the end of the buffer, that is temporarily invisible and
+ inaccessible. Giving a buffer a nonzero amount of restriction is
+ called narrowing (q.v.). *Note Narrowing::.
+
+<RET>
+ <RET> is the character than runs the command to insert a newline
+ into the text. It is also used to terminate most arguments read
+ in the minibuffer (q.v.). *Note Return: Keystrokes.
+
+Saving
+ Saving a buffer means copying its text into the file that was
+ visited (q.v.) in that buffer. To actually change a file you have
+ edited in Emacs, you have to save it. *Note Saving::.
+
+Scrolling
+ Scrolling means shifting the text in the Emacs window to make a
+ different part of the buffer visible. *Note Scrolling: Display.
+
+Searching
+ Searching means moving point to the next occurrence of a specified
+ string. *Note Search::.
+
+Selecting
+ Selecting a buffer means making it the current (q.v.) buffer.
+ *Note Selecting: Buffers.
+
+Self-documentation
+ Self-documentation is the feature of Emacs which can tell you what
+ any command does, or can give you a list of all commands related
+ to a topic you specify. You ask for self-documentation with the
+ help character, `C-h'. *Note Help::.
+
+Sentences
+ Emacs has commands for moving by or killing by sentences. *Note
+ Sentences::.
+
+Sexp
+ An sexp (short for `s-expression,' itself short for `symbolic
+ expression') is the basic syntactic unit of Lisp in its textual
+ form: either a list, or Lisp atom. Many Emacs commands operate on
+ sexps. The term `sexp' is generalized to languages other than
+ Lisp to mean a syntactically recognizable expression. *Note
+ Sexps: Lists.
+
+Simultaneous Editing
+ Simultaneous editing means two users modifying the same file at
+ once. If simultaneous editing is not detected, you may lose your
+ work. Emacs detects all cases of simultaneous editing and warns
+ the user to investigate them. *Note Simultaneous Editing:
+ Interlocking.
+
+String
+ A string is a kind of Lisp data object which contains a sequence of
+ characters. Many Emacs variables are intended to have strings as
+ values. The Lisp syntax for a string consists of the characters in
+ the string with a `"' before and another `"' after. Write a `"'
+ that is part of the string as `\"' and a `\' that is part of the
+ string as `\\'. You can include all other characters, including
+ newline, just by writing them inside the string. You can also
+ include escape sequences as in C, such as `\n' for newline or
+ `\241' using an octal character code.
+
+String Substitution
+ See `global substitution'.
+
+Syntax Table
+ The syntax table tells Emacs which characters are part of a word,
+ which characters balance each other like parentheses, etc. *Note
+ Syntax::.
+
+Tag Table
+ A tag table is a file that serves as an index to the function
+ definitions in one or more other files. *Note Tags::.
+
+Termscript File
+ A termscript file contains a record of all characters Emacs sent to
+ the terminal. It is used for tracking down bugs in Emacs
+ redisplay. Emacs does not make a termscript file unless
+ explicitly instructed to do so. *Note Bugs::.
+
+Text
+ Text has two meanings (*note Text::):
+
+ * Data consisting of a sequence of characters, as opposed to
+ binary numbers, images, graphics commands, executable
+ programs, and the like. The contents of an Emacs buffer are
+ always text in this sense.
+
+ * Data consisting of written human language, as opposed to
+ programs, or something that follows the stylistic conventions
+ of human language.
+
+Top Level
+ Top level is the normal state of Emacs, in which you are editing
+ the text of the file you have visited. You are at top level
+ whenever you are not in a recursive editing level (q.v.) or the
+ minibuffer (q.v.), and not in the middle of a command. You can
+ get back to top level by aborting (q.v.) and quitting (q.v.).
+ *Note Quitting::.
+
+Transposition
+ Transposing two units of text means putting each one into the place
+ formerly occupied by the other. There are Emacs commands to
+ transpose two adjacent characters, words, sexps (q.v.), or lines
+ (*note Transpose::).
+
+Truncation
+ Truncating text lines in the display means leaving out any text on
+ a line that does not fit within the right margin of the window
+ displaying it. See also `continuation line'. *Note Truncation:
+ Basic.
+
+Undoing
+ Undoing means making your previous editing go in reverse, bringing
+ back the text that existed earlier in the editing session. *Note
+ Undo::.
+
+Variable
+ A variable is Lisp object that can store an arbitrary value.
+ Emacs uses some variables for internal purposes, and has others
+ (known as `options' (q.v.)) you can set to control the behavior of
+ Emacs. The variables used in Emacs that you are likely to be
+ interested in are listed in the Variables Index of this manual.
+ *Note Variables::, for information on variables.
+
+Visiting
+ Visiting a file means loading its contents into a buffer (q.v.)
+ where they can be edited. *Note Visiting::.
+
+Whitespace
+ Whitespace is any run of consecutive formatting characters (spaces,
+ tabs, newlines, and backspaces).
+
+Widening
+ Widening is removing any restriction (q.v.) on the current buffer;
+ it is the opposite of narrowing (q.v.). *Note Narrowing::.
+
+Window
+ Emacs divides the frame into one or more windows, each of which can
+ display the contents of one buffer (q.v.) at any time. *Note
+ Frame::, for basic information on how Emacs uses the frame. *Note
+ Windows::, for commands to control the use of windows. Note that if
+ you are running Emacs under X, terminology can be confusing: Each
+ Emacs frame occupies a separate X window and can, in turn, be
+ divided into different subwindows.
+
+Word Abbrev
+ Synonymous with `abbrev'.
+
+Word Search
+ Word search is searching for a sequence of words, considering the
+ punctuation between them as insignificant. *Note Word Search::.
+
+Yanking
+ Yanking means reinserting text previously killed. It can be used
+ to undo a mistaken kill, or for copying or moving text. Some other
+ systems call this "pasting". *Note Yanking::.
