(Top): Info can be read from other places than Emacs. Don't print the copying notice twice in the printed version. Update the menu and detailmenu. (Preface): The meaning of "on-line" has changed. Correct name for "Common Problems" chapter. (Distrib): Update FSF shop URL. (Intro): Showing two files at once is not so exciting.

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.
