(emacs-lisp-intro.info)Emacs Initialization


Your `.emacs' File
******************

   "You don't have to like Emacs to like it" - this seemingly
paradoxical statement is the secret of GNU Emacs.  The plain, `out of
the box' Emacs is a generic tool.  Most people who use it, customize it
to suit themselves.

   GNU Emacs is mostly written in Emacs Lisp; this means that by writing
expressions in Emacs Lisp you can change or extend Emacs.
