+
+
+Emacs is the extensible, customizable, self-documenting real-time
+display editor. This Info file will help you get started on using
+XEmacs. It corresponds to XEmacs version 19.13.

+@unnumbered Preface
+
+ This guide is intended to help you get started on using the
+Emacs editor. It will show you some examples of simple customizations.
+
+ For detailed information on any topic, refer to the @b{XEmacs
+User's Manual}. This document will also refer the reader to the
+@b{XEmacs User's Manual} for more information on corresponding
+topics. You can also use the on-line, learn-by-doing tutorial, which you
+get by running Emacs and typing @kbd{C-h t} OR you can choose the
+@b{Emacs Tutorial} from the @b{Help} menu on the menu bar (which is
+located on the extreme right of the frame). With it, you learn Emacs by
+using Emacs on a specially designed file which describes commands, tells
+you when to try them, and then explains the results you see.
+
+ The first few chapters will introduce you to some basic Emacs commands.
+Later on, some examples of simple customizations will be shown.
+
+ To find the documentation on a particular command, look in the index.
+Keys (character commands) and command names have separate indexes. There
+is also a glossary, with a cross reference for each term.
+
+ This manual comes in two forms: the published form and the Info form.
+The Info form is for on-line perusal with the INFO program; it is
+distributed along with XEmacs. Both forms contain substantially the
+same text and are generated from a common source file, which is also
+distributed along with XEmacs.

+@unnumbered Introduction
+
+ You are reading about XEmacs which is a self-documenting, customizable, extensible real-time display editor.
+
+ XEmacs is a @dfn{display} editor because normally the text
+being edited is visible on the screen and is updated automatically as you
+type. @xref{Frame,Display,,xemacs,XEmacs User's Manual}.
+
+ It is a @dfn{real-time} editor because the display is updated very
+frequently, usually after each character or pair of characters you type.
+This minimizes the amount of information you must keep in your head as
+you edit. @xref{Basic,Real-time,Basic Editing,xemacs,XEmacs User's
+Manual}.
+
+ It is advanced because it provides facilities that go beyond
+simple insertion and deletion: filling of text; automatic indentation of
+programs; viewing two or more files at once; and dealing in terms of
+characters, words, lines, sentences, paragraphs, and pages, as well as
+expressions and comments in several different programming languages. It is
+much easier to type one command meaning ``go to the end of the paragraph''
+than to find that spot with simple cursor keys.
+
+ @dfn{Self-documenting} means that at any time you can type a special
+character, @kbd{Control-h}, to find out what your options are. You can
+also use @kbd{C-h} to find out what a command does, or to find all the
+commands relevant to a topic. @xref{Help,,,xemacs,XEmacs User's Manual}.
+
+ @dfn{Customizable} means you can change the definitions of Emacs
+commands. For example, if you use a programming language in which
+comments start with @samp{<**} and end with @samp{**>}, you can tell the
+Emacs comment manipulation commands to use those strings
+(@pxref{Comments,,,xemacs,XEmacs User's Manual}). Another sort of
+customization is rearrangement of the command set. For example, you can
+set up the four basic cursor motion commands (up, down, left and right)
+on keys in a diamond pattern on the keyboard if you prefer.
+@xref{Customization,,,xemacs,XEmacs User's Manual}.
+
+ @dfn{Extensible} means you can go beyond simple customization and
+write entirely new commands, programs in the Lisp language to be run by
+Emacs's own Lisp interpreter. Emacs is an ``on-line extensible''
+system: it is divided into many functions that call each other. You can
+redefine any function in the middle of an editing session and replace
+any part of Emacs without making a separate copy of all of Emacs. Most
+of the editing commands of Emacs are written in Lisp; the few
+exceptions could have been written in Lisp but are written in C for
+efficiency. Only a programmer can write an extension to Emacs, but anybody
+can use it afterward.
