Standardize the way M-x commands are written: dashes inside command names, not spaces; spaces before <Return>. (Summary): Describe the new behavior of C-l. (Basic Cursor Control): Don't say that files "ought" to end in newlines. Try to distinguish scroll bar from fringes. You can also scroll with a wheel mouse. (If Emacs Stops Responding): Rename from "When Emacs is hung". (Inserting And Deleting): Continuation marks appear in the fringe. Clarify that deletion can be undone. Mention cut and paste, and the Glossary. (Files, Mode Line): Update mode-line format. (Extending The Command Set): Downplay C-z, since using Emacs on a text-only terminal is less common these days. (Searching): Incremental searching is no longer atypical. Downplay flow control issues, remove reference to deleted FAQ node. (Multiple Windows): Mention frames. (Multiple Frames): New section. (Getting More Help): Downplay C-h having a different binding. Don't say help is "on-line", since the meaning has changed. (More Features): Replace "on-line". Use C-h rather than F10 h. Say a little more about completion. (Conclusion): Don't mention C-z again here.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-p in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
