convert it to a file name by merging in the within-directory part of
the existing file's name.  (This is the same convention that shell
commands cp, mv, and ln follow.)  Thus, M-x copy-file RET ~/foo RET
/tmp RET copies ~/foo to /tmp/foo.

** C-u M-x goto-line now switches to the most recent previous buffer,
and goes to the specified line in that buffer.

When goto-line starts to execute, if there's a number in the buffer at
point then it acts as the default argument for the minibuffer.

** Emacs now responds to mouse-clicks on the mode-line, header-line and
display margin, when run in an xterm.

** M-SPC (just-one-space) when given a numeric argument N
converts whitespace around point to N spaces.

** Control characters and escape glyphs are now shown in the new

:propertize and :eval forms in the value of a variable whose
`risky-local-variable' property is nil.

* Lisp Changes in Emacs 22.1

** An element of buffer-undo-list can now have the form (FUNNAME .
ARGS), where FUNNAME is a symbol other than t or nil.  That stands for
a high-level change that should be undone by evaluating (apply FUNNAME
ARGS).

** The line-move, scroll-up, and scroll-down functions will now
modify the window vscroll to scroll through display rows that are
taller that the height of the window, for example in the presense of

This feature is useful in modes where strings or comments can span lines.
For example, if a string or comment terminating character is deleted, then if
this feature is enabled subsequent lines in the buffer will be correctly
refontified to reflect their new syntactic context.  Previously, only the line
containing the deleted character would be refontified and you would have to use
the command M-g M-g (font-lock-fontify-block) to refontify some lines.

As a consequence of this new feature, two other variables have changed:

Variable `lazy-lock-defer-driven' is renamed `lazy-lock-defer-on-scrolling'.
Variable `lazy-lock-defer-time' can now only be a time, i.e., a number.

** M-o now is the prefix key for setting text properties;
M-o M-o requests refontification.

** M-g is now a prefix key.  M-g g and M-g M-g run goto-line.

** font-lock-lines-before specifies a number of lines before the
current line that should be refontified when you change the buffer.
The default value is 1.

** C-u M-x goto-line now switches to the most recent previous buffer,
and goes to the specified line in that buffer.

When goto-line starts to execute, if there's a number in the buffer at

** The new interactive-specification `G' reads a file name
much like `F', but if the input is a directory name (even defaulted),
it returns just the directory name.

** An element of buffer-undo-list can now have the form (apply FUNNAME
. ARGS), where FUNNAME is a symbol other than t or nil.  That stands
for a high-level change that should be undone by evaluating (apply
FUNNAME ARGS).

These entries can also have the form (apply DELTA BEG END FUNNAME . ARGS)
which indicates that the change which took place was limited to the
range BEG...END and increased the buffer size by DELTA.
