Support for opening X frames from a tty session. lisp/cus-face.el (custom-declare-face): Handle multiple concurrent display methods correctly. lisp/faces.el (x-create-frame-with-faces): Set the window-system frame parameter instead of frame-creation-function. (tty-create-frame-with-faces): Ditto. lisp/frame.el (frame-creation-function): Removed. (frame-creation-function-alist): New variable. (frame-initialize): Use initial-window-system instead of window-system. Add window-system parameter to initial-frame-alist. Removed tty initialization, it was moved to frame-creation-function-alist. (frame-notice-user-settings): Use initial-window-system instead of window-system. (make-frame-on-display): Make sure term/x-win is loaded. Added window-system parameter for make-frame. (make-frame-on-tty): Removed unnecessary autoload declaration. Added window-system parameter for make-frame. (make-frame): Use frame-creation-function-alist to determine the function to use depending on the specified window system. (select-frame-by-name): Use the window-system function instead of the variable. lisp/startup.el (window-system): New variable (previously built-in, now frame-local). (normal-top-level, command-line): Use initial-window-system instead of window-system. lisp/loadup.el: Load startup.el before faces.el, for the window-system variable. lisp/term/x-win.el: Check for the x-create-frame function instead of window-system to see if X is available. Don't exit Emacs if the display can not be opened when X is not the initial display method. Set up frame-creation-function-alist instead of frame-creation-function. Provide the x-win feature. src/dispnew.c (Vwindow_system): Renamed to Vinitial_window_system. (init_display, syms_of_display): Updated to use Vinitial_window_system instead of Vwindow_system. src/emacs.c (shut_down_emacs): Updated to use Vinitial_window_system instead of Vwindow_system. src/keyboard.c (Fset_input_mode): Call reset_all_sys_modes, not reset_sys_modes. Ditto for init_all_sys_modes. Process the quit parameter correctly. src/sysdep.c (init_sys_modes, reset_sys_modes): Unconditionally set up the terminal. We don't get called if there is nothing to do anymore. (sys_select): Use Vinitial_window_system, not Vwindow_system. src/window.h (Vwindow_system): Renamed to Vinitial_window_system. src/xfns.c (Fx_create_frame): Don't check_x. We initialize it anyway. (x_display_info_for_name, Fx_open_connection): Don't look at Vinitial_window_system. git-archimport-id: [e-mail]--2004/emacs--multi-tty--0--patch-54

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!
