(init_menu_items): Disable code. (x_activate_menubar): New function. (initialize_frame_menubar): Pass in new param to set_frame_menubar. (get_frame_menubar_event): Check for the possibility of a menu-bar button. A menu-bar button is a caption on the menu bar with no submenu. (set_frame_menubar): Correctly handle menu-bar buttons. (add_menu_item): Equiv parameter send and paid attention to. (keymap_panes, list_of_panes): Use CreatePopupMenu. (single_keymap_panes): Use CreatePopupMenu. Send key descriptions to add_menu_item. (list_of_items): Use CreatePopupMenu. Send nil description to add_menu_item. (get_menu_event): Send keymap instead of menu to get_keymap_event. (Fx_popup_menu): Extra parameter to mouse_position_hook. Don't send address of menu to win32menu_show. (win32menu_show): Send message to call popup menu rather than trying directly. get_menu_event should take an address. Call eat_mouse_events in order to get rid of any extraneous mouse events. (list_of_panes): Only bring up one pane if the length of the list of panes is one. (single_keymap_panes): Fixed problem with 'descrip' lisp object not being protected properly (GCPRO). (get_single_keymap_event): Fixed problem with 'descrip' lisp object not being protected properly (GCPRO). (name_is_separator): New function. (list_of_panes): If a pane's name is empty ("") items are now placed in the main popup instead of a blank-named submenu. This seems to be an undocumented feature of x-popup-menu. (list_of_items): New argument HMENU. Use 1 and 0 instead of Qt and Qnil for enable in add_menu_item

README for Edition 2.4 of the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.

* This directory contains the texinfo source files for the Reference
Manual, make-permuted-index, and the latest version of texinfo.tex,
which handles forms that cannot be handled by the older versions of
texinfo.tex.  Also, it contains makeinfo.c.

* Report Lisp Manual bugs to [e-mail].  We
don't read these bug reports until it's time for a new edition.  To
report other Emacs bugs, use [e-mail].
To ask questions, use the newsgroup gnu.emacs.help.

* The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is quite large.  It totals around
700 pages in smallbook format; the info files total almost two
megabytes.

* You can format this manual either for Info or for printing hardcopy
using TeX.  

* You can buy nicely printed copies from the Free Software Foundation.
For info, send mail to [e-mail] or phone [phone].
Buying a manual from the Free Software Foundation helps support our
GNU development work.

** This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use with GNU Make.
Otherwise, here are detailed instructions:

** HARDCOPY: A copy of the version of `texinfo.tex' that formats this
manual is included in this distribution.

The master file for formatting this manual for Tex is called
`elisp.texi'.  It contains @include commands to include all the
chapters that make up the manual.  In addition, `elisp.texi' has
the title page in a new format designed by Karl Berry, using the
@titlespec command.

To create a DVI file with a sorted index, execute the following
commands in the shell:

% make index.texi
% make elisp.dvi

*** To create a DVI file with a permuted index, you may experiment
with `make-permuted-index'.  

** INFO: A copy of makeinfo.c that will format this manual for Info is
included in this distribution.  This program is written in C and can
be used separately from Emacs.  `makeinfo' produces much better error
messages than the old `texinfo-format-buffer'.  You can run `makeinfo'
it on the `elisp.texi' file.
