+3.0: Customization - Emacs Lisp and .emacs
+==========================================
+
+Q3.0.1: What version of Emacs am I running?
+-------------------------------------------
+
+ How can `.emacs' determine which of the family of Emacsen I am using?
+
+ To determine if you are currently running GNU Emacs 18, GNU Emacs 19,
+XEmacs 19, XEmacs 20, or Epoch, and use appropriate code, check out the
+example given in `etc/sample.emacs'. There are other nifty things in
+there as well!
+
+ For all new code, all you really need to do is:
+
+ (defvar running-xemacs (string-match "XEmacs\\|Lucid" emacs-version))

+
+Q3.0.2: How can I evaluate Emacs-Lisp expressions?
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+ I know I can evaluate Elisp expressions from `*scratch*' buffer with
+`C-j' after the expression. How do I do it from another buffer?
+
+ Press `M-:' (the default binding of `eval-expression'), and enter
+the expression to the minibuffer. In XEmacs prior to 19.15
+`eval-expression' used to be a disabled command by default. If this is
+the case, upgrade your XEmacs.

+
+Q3.0.3: `(setq tab-width 6)' behaves oddly.
+-------------------------------------------
+
+ If you put `(setq tab-width 6)' in your `.emacs' file it does not
+work! Is there a reason for this? If you do it at the EVAL prompt it
+works fine!! How strange.
+
+ Use `setq-default' instead, since `tab-width' is all-buffer-local.
