Yet more minor changes: (defcustom): Said that `:options' is usually for a hook. Remove extraneous space in parenthetical remark concerning `text-mode-hook-identify'. At end, mention other defines, too. (Beginning a .emacs File): Reverse words about comments so they parallel numbers of listed semi-colons. (Text and Auto-fill): Remove extraneous blank line in example. (Mail Aliases): Remove extraneous blank line in example. (Keybindings): Reformat as needed with `key' rather than `kbd'. (Keybindings, Miscellaneous, Mode Line): For small book format, start section name on top of new page. (Simple Extension): Replace longer expression with `emacs-major-version'. Remove comment about `number-to-string' function. (Miscellaneous): Add filename option, `-H', to `grep' example (debug, debug-on-entry): Replace `GNU Emacs 22' with `a recent GNU Emacs'. (edebug): More properly state where to place point for 'M-x edebug-defun'.

# This defines a bash command named `edit' which contacts/resumes an
# existing emacs or starts a new one if none exists.
#
# One way or another, any arguments are passed to emacs to specify files
# (provided you have loaded `resume.el').
#
# This function assumes the emacs program is named `emacs' and is somewhere
# in your load path.  If either of these is not true, the most portable
# (and convenient) thing to do is to make an alias called emacs which
# refers to the real program, e.g.
#
#        alias emacs=/usr/local/bin/gemacs
#
