* mh-folder.el (mh-tool-bar-init): Autoload. (mh-folder-mode): Call mh-tool-bar-init conditionally in XEmacs. Set scoped variables image-load-path and load-path with updated mh-image-load-path before calling mh-tool-bar-folder-buttons-init. * mh-letter.el (mh-tool-bar-init): Autoload. (mh-letter-mode): Call mh-tool-bar-init conditionally in XEmacs. Set scoped variables image-load-path and load-path with updated mh-image-load-path before calling mh-tool-bar-letter-buttons-init. * mh-show.el (mh-tool-bar-init): Autoload. (mh-show-mode): Perform tool bar stuff conditionally in XEmacs and GNU Emacs. * mh-tool-bar.el (mh-tool-bar-define): Don't quote stuff in error messages per conventions. (mh-tool-bar-folder-buttons-init) (mh-tool-bar-letter-buttons-init): Don't call mh-image-load-path. (mh-tool-bar-define call): Format. * mh-utils.el (mh-image-directory, mh-image-load-path-called-flag): Delete. (mh-image-load-path): Incorporate changes from Gnus team. Biggest changes are that it no longer uses/sets mh-image-directory or mh-image-load-path-called-flag, and returns the updated path rather than change it. (mh-logo-display): Change usage of mh-image-load-path.

README for Edition 2.9 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.

* 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
1100 pages in smallbook format; the info files total over
2.5 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:

% ./configure
% make index.texi
% make elisp.dvi

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

** To make an Info file, you need to install Texinfo, then run
`./configure' and `make info'.  To install the Info files, run
`make install'.
