-@cindex starting Emacs
-
-  The usual way to invoke Emacs is with the shell command
-@command{emacs}.  Emacs clears the screen, then displays an initial
-help message and copyright notice.  Some operating systems discard
-your type-ahead when Emacs starts up; they give Emacs no way to
-prevent this.  On those systems, wait for Emacs to clear the screen
-before you start typing.
-
-  From a shell window under the X Window System, run Emacs in the
-background with @command{emacs&}.  This way, Emacs won't tie up the
-shell window, so you can use it to run other shell commands while
-Emacs is running.  You can type Emacs commands as soon as you direct
-your keyboard input to an Emacs frame.
-
-@vindex initial-major-mode
-  When Emacs starts up, it creates a buffer named @samp{*scratch*}.
-That's the buffer you start out in.  The @samp{*scratch*} buffer uses
-Lisp Interaction mode; you can use it to type Lisp expressions and
-evaluate them.  You can also ignore that capability and just write notes
-there.  You can specify a different major mode for this buffer by
-setting the variable @code{initial-major-mode} in your init file.
-@xref{Init File}.
-
-  It is possible to specify files to be visited, Lisp files to be
-loaded, and functions to be called through Emacs command-line
-arguments.  @xref{Emacs Invocation}.  The feature exists mainly for
-compatibility with other editors, and for scripts.
-
-  Many editors are designed to edit one file.  When done with that
-file, you exit the editor.  The next time you want to edit a file, you
-must start the editor again.  Working this way, it is convenient to
-use a command-line argument to say which file to edit.
-
-  However, killing Emacs after editing one each and starting it afresh
-for the next file is both unnecessary and harmful, since it denies you
-the full power of Emacs.  Emacs can visit more than one file in a
-single editing session, and that is the right way to use it.  Exiting
-the Emacs session loses valuable accumulated context, such as the kill
-ring, registers, undo history, and mark ring.  These features are
-useful for operating on multiple files, or even continuing to edit one
-file.  If you kill Emacs after each file, you don't take advantage of
-them.
-
-  The recommended way to use GNU Emacs is to start it only once, just
-after you log in, and do all your editing in the same Emacs session.
-Each time you edit a file, you visit it with the existing Emacs, which
-eventually has many files in it ready for editing.  Usually you do not
-kill Emacs until you are about to log out.  @xref{Files}, for more
-information on visiting more than one file.
-
-  To edit a file from another program while Emacs is running, you can
-use the @command{emacsclient} helper program to open a file in the
-already running Emacs.  @xref{Emacs Server}.

-
-  There are two commands for exiting Emacs, and three kinds of
-exiting: @dfn{iconifying} Emacs, @dfn{suspending} Emacs, and
-@dfn{killing} Emacs.
-
-  @dfn{Iconifying} means replacing the Emacs frame with a small box or
-``icon'' on the screen.  This is the usual way to exit Emacs when
-you're using a graphical display---if you bother to ``exit'' at all.
-(Just switching to another application is usually sufficient.)
-
-  @dfn{Suspending} means stopping Emacs temporarily and returning
-control to its parent process (usually a shell), allowing you to
-resume editing later in the same Emacs job.  This is the usual way to
-exit Emacs when running it on a text terminal.
-
-  @dfn{Killing} Emacs means destroying the Emacs job.  You can run Emacs
-again later, but you will get a fresh Emacs; there is no way to resume
-the same editing session after it has been killed.
-
-@table @kbd
-@item C-z
-Suspend Emacs (@code{suspend-emacs}) or iconify a frame
-(@code{iconify-or-deiconify-frame}).
-@item C-x C-c
-Kill Emacs (@code{save-buffers-kill-emacs}).
-@end table
-
-@kindex C-z
-@findex iconify-or-deiconify-frame
-  On graphical displays, @kbd{C-z} runs the command
-@code{iconify-or-deiconify-frame}, which temporarily iconifies (or
-``minimizes'') the selected Emacs frame (@pxref{Frames}).  You can
-then use the window manager to select some other application.  (You
-could select another application without iconifying Emacs first, but
-getting the Emacs frame out of the way can make it more convenient to
-find the other application.)
-
-@findex suspend-emacs
-  On a text terminal, @kbd{C-z} runs the command @code{suspend-emacs}.
-Suspending Emacs takes you back to the shell from which you invoked
-Emacs.  You can resume Emacs with the shell command @command{%emacs}
-in most common shells.  On systems that don't support suspending
-programs, @kbd{C-z} starts an inferior shell that communicates
-directly with the terminal, and Emacs waits until you exit the
-subshell.  (The way to do that is probably with @kbd{C-d} or
-@command{exit}, but it depends on which shell you use.)  On these
-systems, you can only get back to the shell from which Emacs was run
-(to log out, for example) when you kill Emacs.
-
-@vindex cannot-suspend
-  Suspending can fail if you run Emacs under a shell that doesn't
-support suspendion of its subjobs, even if the system itself does
-support it.  In such a case, you can set the variable
-@code{cannot-suspend} to a non-@code{nil} value to force @kbd{C-z} to
-start an inferior shell.
-
-@kindex C-x C-c
-@findex save-buffers-kill-emacs
-  To exit and kill Emacs, type @kbd{C-x C-c}
-(@code{save-buffers-kill-emacs}).  A two-character key is used to make
-it harder to type by accident.  This command first offers to save any
-modified file-visiting buffers.  If you do not save them all, it asks
-for confirmation with @kbd{yes} before killing Emacs, since any
-changes not saved now will be lost forever.  Also, if any subprocesses are
-still running, @kbd{C-x C-c} asks for confirmation about them, since
-killing Emacs will also kill the subprocesses.
-
-@vindex confirm-kill-emacs
-  If the value of the variable @code{confirm-kill-emacs} is
-non-@code{nil}, @kbd{C-x C-c} assumes that its value is a predicate
-function, and calls that function.  If the result is non-@code{nil}, the
-session is killed, otherwise Emacs continues to run.  One convenient
-function to use as the value of @code{confirm-kill-emacs} is the
-function @code{yes-or-no-p}.  The default value of
-@code{confirm-kill-emacs} is @code{nil}.
-
-  You can't resume an Emacs session after killing it.  Emacs can,
-however, record certain session information when you kill it, such as
-which files you visited, so the next time you start Emacs it will try
-to visit the same files.  @xref{Saving Emacs Sessions}.
-
-  The operating system usually listens for certain special characters
-whose meaning is to kill or suspend the program you are running.
-@b{This operating system feature is turned off while you are in Emacs.}
-The meanings of @kbd{C-z} and @kbd{C-x C-c} as keys in Emacs were
-inspired by the use of @kbd{C-z} and @kbd{C-c} on several operating
-systems as the characters for stopping or killing a program, but that is
-their only relationship with the operating system.  You can customize
-these keys to run any commands of your choice (@pxref{Keymaps}).
