   here term you mean something like rxvt xterm?
   I'm sorry I'm not quite understand.

Sorry, i'll rephrase ...

   as for manuals, i have a problem in looking it up for a quite a
   long time.

   A lot of information I know it should be in C - h, but when i
   come across to a issue, i just can't find which is related to
   the specific issue.  :(

... here:

The Emacs hackers would like to improve the manual so that the
answer to questions such as "how to insert 999999999 using a
prefix argument" can be more easily found, perhaps by adding terms
to the manual's index, or by adding/clarifying specific pieces of
text.  To figure out what to do, it's best to know what happened,
previously.  That's why i asked that question, with "term" being
another way to say "index topic".  I presumed (maybe mistakenly?)
that you used the index.

So, more generally: "What was your strategy to search for the
answer to this question?"
