List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Good question. Well to begin with, try "info emacs". This assumes that the info read and the info documentation is installed. Another thing you should be able to do if emacs is completely installed is to do a ctrl-h followed by the letter i. This will bring up the info reader inside of emacs. I realize, if one is trying to learn emacs and you have to use emacs to find out how to use it:) you end up in a vicious loop, don't you?:) I really can't recall if there is some intro documentation on getting started with emacs or not. Actually, I just looked in my HOWTOs folder on my slackware 9.0 environment (/usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs) and there is a file in there called, Emacs-Beginner-HOWTO and there is also one for Emacs-Speak. Hope this all helps. On Fri, Jun 27, 2003 at 08:43:52AM -0400, Deborah Mayne wrote: > Hi all! > > Does anyone know of some decent docs for learning EMACS?
