(User Input): Rewrite. Describe Emacs' behavior directly, rather than in the context of ASCII. Move description of special properties of modifier key to new Modifier Keys node. (Keys): Copyedit. (Text Characters): Delete node. Multibyte is the default nowadays, and the node contents are obsolete.

This directory contains source code for the parts of Emacs that are
written in Emacs Lisp.  *.el files are Emacs Lisp source, and the
corresponding *.elc files are byte-compiled versions.  Byte-compiled
files are architecture-independent.

The term subdirectory contains Lisp files that customize Emacs for
certain terminal types.  When Emacs starts, it checks the TERM
environment variable to get the terminal type and loads
`term/${TERM}.el' if it exists.

The other subdirectories hold Lisp packages grouped by their general
purpose.
