Where can I get documentation on Emacs Lisp?
============================================

   Within Emacs, you can type `C-h f' to get the documentation for a
function, `C-h v' for a variable.

   For more information, obtain the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.
Details on ordering it from FSF are on the GNU Web site
(http://www.gnu.org/order/order.html) and in the file `etc/ORDERS'.

   The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is also available on-line, in Info
format.  Texinfo source for the manual (along with pregenerated Info
files) is available at

   `ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-manual-21-2.6.tar.gz'

   and all mirrors of `ftp.gnu.org' (for a list, Note: Current GNU
distributions).  Note: Installing Texinfo documentation, if you want
to install the Info files, or Note: Printing a Texinfo file, if you
want to use the Texinfo source to print the manual yourself.

   An HTML version of the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is available at

   `http://www.gnu.org/manual/elisp-manual-21-2.6/elisp.html'
