Require `loadhist'. Variable (find-function-function) variable removed. (find-function-regexp): New variable, taken from former constant in `find-function-noselect'. Can now find function definitions with parameters on a new line. (find-variable-regexp): New variable. (find-function-recenter-line): New variable. (find-function-after-hook): New variable. (find-function-search-for-symbol): subroutine, from of `find-function-noselect' (find-function-search-for-symbol): `regexp-quote' the symbol name: needed to find-function `mapcar*' for example. (find-function-noselect): Improved docstring. Don't include `library' in let. Use `symbol-file' instead of `describe-symbol-find-file' (find-function-read): Renamed from `find-function-read-function'. With optional arg now read a variable. (find-function-read): Separate `completing-read' calls for variables and functions. (find-function-do-it): If buffer found was already current push mark. Added parameter to indicate if a variable is being searched for. (find-function-do-it): Mention new `find-function-recenter-line' and `find-function-after-hook' in docstring. Use them. (find-function): Remove optional arg. Use `find-function-do-it' and `find-function-read'. (find-function-other-window): ditto. (find-function-other-frame): ditto. (find-function): Mention `find-function-recenter-line' and `find-function-after-hook' in docstring. (find-function-other-window): Remove most of docstring and add reference to `find-function' instead. (find-function-other-frame): Ditto. (find-variable-noselect): New function for finding the point of definition of variables, modeled on `find-function-noselect'. (find-variable-noselect): Use `symbol-file' instead of `describe-symbol-find-file'. (find-variable): New function. (find-variable-other-window): Ditto. (find-variable-other-frame): Ditto. (find-variable): Mention `find-function-recenter-line' and `find-function-after-hook' in docstring. (find-variable-other-window): Remove most of docstring and add reference to `find-variable' instead. (find-variable-other-frame): Ditto. (find-function-on-key): Simplified. Removed stuff now taken care of by interactive "k". (find-function-at-point): New function. (find-variable-at-point): Ditto.

This directory contains the architecture-independent files used by or
with Emacs.  This includes some text files of documentation for GNU
Emacs or of interest to Emacs users, and the file of dumped docstrings
for Emacs functions and variables.

`termcap.src' is included mainly for VMS.  It is a copy of the
`/etc/termcap' file used on Unix.
