Unlike +`manual-entry', `woman' does not invoke any external programs, so it +is useful on systems such as MS-DOS/MS-Windows where the `man' and +Groff or `troff' are not readily available. + +The command `M-x woman-find-file' asks for the file name of a man +page, then formats and displays it like `M-x woman' does. + *** The new command M-x re-builder offers a convenient interface for authoring regular expressions with immediate visual feedback. -- 2.39.5
