address@hidden If you think this manual is too large for an introduction, please
address@hidden consider this email exchange:

60 pages.

address@hidden > This is an important point in its own right. Could you

so?

address@hidden This book is intentionally addressed to people who don't know
how to
address@hidden program. That is its purpose. We recommend people start
learning to
address@hidden program using this book.
address@hidden
address@hidden If you DO know how to program in some other language, you can
probably
address@hidden learn Emacs Lisp starting with the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.
