* BUGS

** Markus Gritsch's report about Emacs looping on Windoze with the following
.emacs file, and then reduce Emacs frame width to "something quite narrow":
	(setq-default truncate-lines t)
	(custom-set-variables
	 '(hscroll-margin 20)
	 '(hscroll-step 1)
	)


* DOCUMENTATION

** Check the Emacs Lisp manual.

Each manual section should be checked for factual correctness
regarding recent changes by at least two people.  After each file
name, on the same line or the following line, come the names of the
people who have checked it.
