* mh-identity.el (mh-assoc-ignore-case): New macro that uses assoc-string (if the function is available) and falls back on assoc-ignore-case if assoc-string is not found. (mh-identity-field-handler): Use mh-assoc-ignore-case since assoc-ignore-case is a obsolete function in Emacs 22. * mh-e.el (mh-folder-buttons-init-flag): New variable that keeps track of whether the tool-bar in mh-folder-mode has been initialized yet. (mh-folder-mode): Initialize the tool-bar for folders the first time we get into mh-letter-mode. * mh-customize.el (mh-buffer-exists-p): New function which tests presence of buffers of a given mode. (mh-tool-bar-define): New functions mh-tool-bar-folder-buttons-init and mh-tool-bar-letter-buttons-init are defined. These functions are used to create the tool-bar from the corresponding customizable variables. * mh-comp.el (mh-letter-buttons-init-flag): New variable that keeps track of whether the tool-bar in mh-letter-mode has been initialized yet. (mh-letter-mode): Initialize the tool-bar for drafts the first time we get into mh-letter-mode.

README for Edition 2.9 of the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.

* This directory contains the texinfo source files for the Reference
Manual, make-permuted-index, and the latest version of texinfo.tex,
which handles forms that cannot be handled by the older versions of
texinfo.tex.

* Report Lisp Manual bugs to [e-mail].  We don't read
these bug reports until it's time for a new edition.  To report other
Emacs bugs, use [e-mail].  To ask questions, use the
newsgroup gnu.emacs.help.

* The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is quite large.  It totals around
1100 pages in smallbook format; the info files total over
2.5 megabytes.

* You can format this manual either for Info or for printing hardcopy
using TeX.

* You can buy nicely printed copies from the Free Software Foundation.
For info, send mail to [e-mail] or phone [phone].  Buying a
manual from the Free Software Foundation helps support our GNU
development work.

** This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use with GNU Make.
Otherwise, here are detailed instructions:

** HARDCOPY: A copy of the version of `texinfo.tex' that formats this
manual is included in this distribution.

The master file for formatting this manual for Tex is called
`elisp.texi'.  It contains @include commands to include all the
chapters that make up the manual.  In addition, `elisp.texi' has
the title page in a new format designed by Karl Berry, using the
@titlespec command.

To create a DVI file with a sorted index, execute the following
commands in the shell:

% ./configure
% make index.texi
% make elisp.dvi

*** To create a DVI file with a permuted index, you may experiment
with `make-permuted-index'.

** To make an Info file, you need to install Texinfo, then run
`./configure' and `make info'.  To install the Info files, run
`make install'.
