 ;;; Commentary:
 
-; DABBREVS - "Dynamic abbreviations" hack, originally written by Don Morrison
-; for Twenex Emacs.  Converted to mlisp by Russ Fish.  Supports the table
-; feature to avoid hitting the same expansion on re-expand, and the search
-; size limit variable.  Bugs fixed from the Twenex version are flagged by
-; comments starting with ;;; .
-; 
-; converted to Emacs Lisp by Spencer Thomas.
-; Thoroughly cleaned up by Richard Stallman.
-;  
-; If anyone feels like hacking at it, Bob Keller (Keller@Utah-20) first
-; suggested the beast, and has some good ideas for its improvement, but
-; doesn't know TECO (the lucky devil...).  One thing that should definitely
-; be done is adding the ability to search some other buffer(s) if you can?t
-; find the expansion you want in the current one.
+;; The purpose with this package is to let you write just a few
+;; characters of words you've written earlier to be able to expand
+;; them.
+;;
+;; To expand a word, just put the point right after the word and press
+;; M-/ (dabbrev-expand) or M-C-/ (dabbrev-completion).
+;;
+;; There are powerful things in this package that aren't turned on by
+;; default. I recommend you to do the following.
+;;
+;; Put the following 2 lines in your .emacs file:
+;; (setq dabbrev-always-check-other-buffers t)
+;; (setq dabbrev-abbrev-char-regexp "\\sw\\|\\s_")
+;;
+;; Dabbrev will now search in all buffers with the same major mode for
+;; your expansions. It will also search for complete symbols, the old
+;; dabbrev package only looked half-heartedly for symbols.
+;;
+;; Check out the customizable variables below to learn about all the
+;; features of this package.
+
+;;; Hints and tips for major modes writers:
+
+;; Recommended values		C/Lisp etc	text
+;; dabbrev-case-fold-search	nil		t
+;; dabbrev-case-replace		nil		t
+;;
+;; Set the variables you want special for your mode like this:
+;; (set (make-local-variable 'dabbrev-case-replace) nil)
+;; Then you don't interfer with other modes.
+;;
+;; If your mode handles buffers that refers to other buffers
+;; (i.e. compilation-mode, gud-mode), then try to set
+;; `dabbrev-select-buffers-function' or `dabbrev-friend-buffer-function'
+;; to a function that point out those buffers.
+
+;; Same goes for major-modes that are connected to other modes.  There
+;; are for instance a number of mail-modes.  One for reading, one for
+;; creating a new mail etc.  Maybe those should be connected.
+
+;; Example for GNUS (when we write a reply, we want dabbrev to look in
+;; the article for expansion):
+;; (set (make-local-variable 'dabbrev-friend-buffer-function)
+;;      (lambda (buffer)
+;;         (save-excursion
+;;           (set-buffer buffer)
+;;           (memq major-mode '(news-reply-mode gnus-article-mode)))))
+
+;;; Change Log
+;;  4.4.2 1994-11-25
+;;      Added new variable; `dabbrev-check-rest-of-buffers'.
+;;  4.4.1 1994-11-24
+;;      Now has correct creation date.
+;;      Added kill-ring idea to "Future enhancements".
+;;  4.4 1994-11-22
+;;	Changed the copyright text.  Thanks [hymie].
+;;	new-dabbrev now handles abbrevs that starts with symbol
+;;	syntax. Thanks [burgett] for kicking me to do it.
+;;	Now also handles `dabbrev-abbrev-skip-leading-regexp' better.
+;;  4.3 1994-11-14
+;;	Now only displays "Expansion found in <buffer>" when the
+;;	expansion has been found in buffers that hasn't been examined
+;;	yet. Thanks [kifer].
+;;      Added a new variable; `dabbrev-search-these-buffers-only'.
+;;      Fixed bug in mini-buffer completion. Thanks [kifer].
+;;      Found a real time-waster when using `dabbrev-completion'.
+;;      Thanks for the elp.el package Barry Warsaw!
+;;	Found bug that made point move in other buffers.
+;;      Now handles Lucid emacs define-key style.
+;;      Thanks [jules].
+;;      Now uses the `<symbol>' syntax in doc strings.
+;;      Cosmetic bugs and syntactical bugs in documentation strings.
+;;      Thanks [hawley].
+;;  4.2 1994-03-04
+;;      Now searches other buffers again. Thanks [ake].
+;;  4.1 1994-02-22
+;;      Introduced the new variables `dabbrev-case-fold-search' and
+;;      `dabbrev-case-replace'.
+;;      Introduced the new variable `dabbrev-select-buffers-function'.
+;;      Introduced the new variable `dabbrev-abbrev-skip-leading-regexp'.
+;;      Changed `dabbrev-always-check-other-buffers' to not buffer local.
+;;      Thanks [kifer].
+;;      Bug in `dabbrev-completion', x expanded to xxy instead of xy.
+;;      Thanks [kifer].
+;;      Added `dabbrev-submit-feedback' for better error-reporting.
+;;      The hooks (`dabbrev-select-buffers-function' and
+;;      `dabbrev-friend-buffer-function') are now not automatically
+;;      buffer local.
+;;      Now provides dabbrev too.
+;;  3.2 1993-12-14
+;;      Message for expansion found in buffer other than current.
+;;	Minor bugs.
+;;  3.1 1993-12-13
+;;      Better comment for `dabbrev-abbrev-char-regexp'.
+;;  3.0 1993-12-09
+;;      Freshed things up for the release.
+;;      `dabbrev-completion' now doesn't have to use the minibuffer.
+;;      Thanks [alon].
+;;  2.0 1993-12-02 Lars Lindberg <lli@sypro.cap.se>
+;;      Searches in other buffers for the expansion.
+;;      Works also for the minibuffer.
+;;      Added `dabbrev-completion'.
+;;      More efficient code.
+;;      Found minor bugs.
+;;  1.0 converted to Emacs Lisp by Spencer Thomas.
+;;      Thoroughly cleaned up by Richard Stallman.
+;;  0.0
+;;      DABBREVS - "Dynamic abbreviations" hack, originally written by
+;;      Don Morrison for Twenex Emacs.  Converted to mlisp by Russ Fish.
+;;      Supports the table feature to avoid hitting the same expansion on
+;;      re-expand, and the search size limit variable.
+
+;; Known bugs and limitations.
+;; - Possible to do several levels of `dabbrev-completion' in the
+;;   minibuffer.
+;; - dabbrev-completion doesn't handle resetting the globals variables
+;;   right.  It resets them after finding the abbrev.
+
+;; Future enhancements
+;;  - Check the tags-files? Like tags-complete?
+;;  - Add the possibility of searching both forward and backward to
+;;    the nearest expansion.
+;;  - Check the kill-ring when everything else fails. (Maybe something
+;;  for hippie-expand?). [Bng] <boris@cs.rochester.edu>
