Maybe people here think 'A beginner should be moderate and not ask for 
improvements' so that I get here a bad image. Nevertheless I insist

  - Fundamental things should be available at once and not after
    hopping from one point to another to another ...
  - They should be available in the manual, too, not just in the
    info manual
  - The manual should have three appendices - there might be other
    candidates -

      1. Alphabetical list of all global (prefix) keys
      2. Alph. list of all global commands
      3. List of all global commands grouped according to scope
  - The chapters in the manual are numerated within the text. So
    they should be in the table of context as well. People
    write 'Look at 49.1' e.g. and one wonders where this is.

@Loris Bennett: What Wahl had written was exactly what I had been
                looking for. That's why I thanked him.
