Chassell, bob@gnu.org. This +manual is an elementary introduction to programming in Emacs Lisp for +people who are not programmers, and who are not necessarily interested +in programming, but who do want to customize or extend their computing +environment. + +This second edition of 2001 Nov 20 updates the previous editions to +GNU Emacs 21. + +The Texinfo source file `emacs-lisp-intro.texi', formats without +error using TeX version 3.14159, `kpathsea' version 3.3.1, +`texinfo.tex' version 2001-05-24.08, and `makeinfo' version 4.0b. + +Also, this tar file contains the following optional Encapsulated Post +Script figures. + + drawers.eps 7129 bytes + cons-1.eps 12136 + cons-2.eps 12523 + cons-2a.eps 12420 + cons-3.eps 12984 + cons-4.eps 13866 + cons-5.eps 12986 + lambda-1.eps 10252 + lambda-2.eps 10278 + lambda-3.eps 10275 + +See the beginning of the `emacs-lisp-intro.texi' file for appropriate +settings. These figures are not necessary; they are merely nice to +look at --- without them you get the same figures printed with ASCII +characters. + +Whether and how you print PostScript depends on your site. You not +only need to set 'print-postscript-figures' before creating the .dvi +file, but then must convert the .dvi file to .ps with a 'dvips' or +equivalent command. + +On some systems you will see an error message when `psfig.tex' is +loaded for the last two .eps files: + + ! No room for a new \write . + +If this happens, try `epsf.tex' instead of `psfig.tex', or try typing +RET at the error; the formatting may continue successfully. + +Or else find the section that says: + + @c !!! Clear print-postscript-figures if the computer formatting this + @c document is too small and cannot handle all the diagrams and figures. + @c clear print-postscript-figures + +and change the file so it reads: @clear print-postscript-figures +This will prevent TeX from attempting to load the last few .eps files. + +You will find additional instructions on formatting in the beginning +of the Texinfo file 'emacs-lisp-intro.texi'.
