Tool Bars
=========

   The "tool bar" is a line (or multiple lines) of icons at the top of
the Emacs window.  You can click on these icons with the mouse to do
various jobs.

   The global tool bar contains general commands.  Some major modes
define their own tool bars to replace it.  A few "special" modes that
are not designed for ordinary editing remove some items from the global
tool bar.

   Tool bars work only on a graphical display.  The tool bar uses
colored XPM icons if Emacs was built with XPM support.  Otherwise, the
tool bar uses monochrome icons (PBM or XBM format).

   You can turn display of tool bars on or off with `M-x tool-bar-mode'.
