-Seeing the Current Value of a Variable
---------------------------------------
-
-You can see the current value of a variable, any variable, by using the
-`describe-variable' function, which is usually invoked by typing `C-h
-v'.  If you type `C-h v' and then `kill-ring' (followed by <RET>) when
-prompted, you will see what is in your current kill ring--this may be
-quite a lot!  Conversely, if you have been doing nothing this Emacs
-session except read this document, you may have nothing in it.  Also,
-you will see the documentation for `kill-ring':
-
-     Documentation:
-     List of killed text sequences.
-     Since the kill ring is supposed to interact nicely with cut-and-paste
-     facilities offered by window systems, use of this variable should
-     interact nicely with `interprogram-cut-function' and
-     `interprogram-paste-function'.  The functions `kill-new',
-     `kill-append', and `current-kill' are supposed to implement this
-     interaction; you may want to use them instead of manipulating the kill
-     ring directly.
-
-The kill ring is defined by a `defvar' in the following way:
-
-     (defvar kill-ring nil
-       "List of killed text sequences.
-     ...")
-
-In this variable definition, the variable is given an initial value of
-`nil', which makes sense, since if you have saved nothing, you want
-nothing back if you give a `yank' command.  The documentation string is
-written just like the documentation string of a `defun'.  As with the
-documentation string of the `defun', the first line of the
-documentation should be a complete sentence, since some commands, like
-`apropos', print only the first line of documentation.  Succeeding
-lines should not be indented; otherwise they look odd when you use `C-h
-v' (`describe-variable').
