@cindex autoload
Some commands are @dfn{autoloaded}: when you run them, Emacs will
automatically load the associated library first. For instance, the
-@code{compile} and @code{compilation-mode} commands are autoloaded; if
-you call either command, Emacs automatically loads @file{compile.elc}
-or @file{compile.el}. (In contrast, the command @code{recompile} is
-not autoloaded, and thus unavailable until you load @file{compile.elc}
-or @file{compile.el}.)
+@code{compile} and @code{compilation-mode} commands
+(@pxref{Compilation}) are autoloaded; if you call either command,
+Emacs automatically loads the @code{compile} library. In contrast,
+the command @code{recompile} is not autoloaded, so it is unavailable
+until you load the @code{compile} library.
