<hmmm> 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.

Once emacs is started try hitting control-h then hit the t key.

emacs documentation?

Hi all,

Yes, the docs in the Info tree are excellent.  O'Reilly has an
excellent text book on emacs.  Check with bookshare about getting it.

You can also press control-H followed by the letter t to pull up a
tutorial.  It gives a 1985 copyright, but it still is valid.  It has you
edit the file and save it under a new name while it tells you what to
type.  It doesn't cover even a fraction of what Emacs can do, but it makes
a good starting point.
