Annatomy of a Module
Firstly, Elisp is an interpreted language, and this has serious speed
implications. Like all other interpreted languages (like Java), Elisp
is often suitable only for certain types of application or extension.
-So although Elisp is a general purpose language, and very high level,
+So although Elisp is a general purpose language, and very ligh level,
there are times when it is desirable to descend to a lower level
compiled language for speed purposes.
`syms_of_module'
This required function is responsible for introducing to the Lisp
reader all functions that you have defined in your module using
- `DEFUN()'. Note that _only_ functions are declared here, using
+ `DEFUN()'. Note that *only* functions are declared here, using
the `DEFSUBR()' macro. No variables are declared.
`vars_of_module'
Not only does a module need to declare the initialization functions
mentioned above, it is also required to provide certain variables which
the module loading code searches for in order to determine the viability

source files. They are automatically set up in the module
initialization file by the `ellcc' compiler. These variables are
discussed here simply for the sake of completeness.
how to use these macros is to look at existing source code, or read the
internals manual.
- One _very_ important difference between XEmacs variables and module
+ One *very* important difference between XEmacs variables and module
variables is how you use pure space. Simply put, you *never* use pure
space in XEmacs modules. The pure space storage is of a limited size,
and is initialized propperly during the dumping of XEmacs. Because
