* fileio.c (Fread_file_name): Pass Qt as fifth parameter to Fx_file_dialog if only directories should be read. * lisp.h: Fx_file_dialog takes 5 parameters. * xfns.c (Fx_file_dialog): Both Motif and GTK version: Add parameter only_dir_p. In Motif version, don't put DEFAULT_FILENAME in filter part of the dialog, just text field part. Do not add DEFAULT_FILENAME to list of files if it isn't there. In GTK version, pass only_dir_p parameter to xg_get_file_name. * macfns.c (Fx_file_dialog): Add parameter only_dir_p. Check only_dir_p instead of comparing prompt to "Dired". When using a save dialog, add option kNavDontConfirmReplacement, change title to "Enter name", change text for save button to "Ok". * w32fns.c (Fx_file_dialog): Add parameter only_dir_p. Check only_dir_p instead of comparing prompt to "Dired". * gtkutil.c (xg_get_file_with_chooser) (xg_get_file_with_selection): New functions, only defined ifdef HAVE_GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_DIALOG_NEW and HAVE_GTK_FILE_SELECTION_NEW respectively. (xg_get_file_name): Add parameter only_dir_p. Call xg_get_file_with_chooser or xg_get_file_with_selection depending on HAVE_GTK_FILE* and the value of use_old_gtk_file_dialog. (xg_initialize): New DEFVAR_BOOL use_old_gtk_file_dialog. * gtkutil.h (xg_get_file_name): Add parameter only_dir_p.

This directory contains the source of the "Introduction to programming
in Emacs Lisp" written by Robert J. Chassell, [e-mail].  This
manual is an elementary introduction to programming in Emacs Lisp for
people who are not programmers, and who are not necessarily interested
in programming, but who do want to customize or extend their computing
environment.

This second edition of 2001 Nov 20 updates the previous editions to
GNU Emacs 21.

The Texinfo source file `emacs-lisp-intro.texi', formats without
error using TeX version 3.14159, `kpathsea' version 3.3.1,
`texinfo.tex' version 2001-05-24.08, and `makeinfo' version 4.0b.

Also, this tar file contains the following optional Encapsulated Post
Script figures.

    drawers.eps         7129 bytes
    cons-1.eps          12136
    cons-2.eps          12523
    cons-2a.eps         12420
    cons-3.eps          12984
    cons-4.eps          13866
    cons-5.eps          12986
    lambda-1.eps        10252
    lambda-2.eps        10278
    lambda-3.eps        10275

See the beginning of the `emacs-lisp-intro.texi' file for appropriate
settings.  These figures are not necessary; they are merely nice to
look at --- without them you get the same figures printed with ASCII
characters.

Whether and how you print PostScript depends on your site.  You not
only need to set 'print-postscript-figures' before creating the .dvi
file, but then must convert the .dvi file to .ps with a 'dvips' or
equivalent command.

On some systems you will see an error message when `psfig.tex' is
loaded for the last two .eps files:

            ! No room for a new \write .

If this happens, try `epsf.tex' instead of `psfig.tex', or try typing
RET at the error; the formatting may continue successfully.

Or else find the section that says:

 @c !!! Clear print-postscript-figures if the computer formatting this
 @c     document is too small and cannot handle all the diagrams and figures.
 @c clear print-postscript-figures

and change the file so it reads:   @clear print-postscript-figures
This will prevent TeX from attempting to load the last few .eps files.

You will find additional instructions on formatting in the beginning
of the Texinfo file 'emacs-lisp-intro.texi'.  Best Wishes!
