That's good. Nobody can assimilate that all at once. You can leave out
lots of things that are currently not important to you.

Dunno if that's possible. Depends too much on the background of the
reader. And there is a lot of important stuff to know. I doubt it fits
in a condensed article, and I doubt even more that you would write good
programs after reading that. It would be a trap. The manual is not
that long because the authors were bad, it's full of important things.
If you simplify, no matter where, you'll later regret it. Waste a lot
of time, and still have to read all of it.

The command line program "info" is a reader for the Info documentation
for the command line. Emacs has its own integrated and very nice Info
reader: type C-h i.
Oh, now I see that you only read the introduction, not the Elisp
reference manual. I suggest to have a look at that one, too.
Yeah sorry if we sometimes sound rude, but all shortcuts are traps,
_all_ - sorry. It's hard to defer what one actually wants to do and
read that boring stuff instead. I guess all of us tried some shortcuts.
We all wasted lots of time more or less.
Michael.
