;;; Commentary:

;; This package maintains a menu for visiting files that were operated
;; on recently. When enabled a new "Open Recent" submenu is displayed
;; in the "Files" menu. The recent files list is automatically saved
;; across Emacs sessions.  You can customize the number of recent
;; files displayed, the location of the menu and others options (see
;; the source code for details).  To install and use, put the file on
;; your Emacs-Lisp load path and add the following into your ~/.emacs
;; startup file:
;;
;;  (require 'recentf)
;;  (recentf-mode 1) 

;;; Code:

(require 'easymenu)
