|

;; This file contains those help commands which are complicated, and
|
||
;; which may not be used in every session. For example
|
||
;; `describe-function' will probably be heavily used when doing elisp
|
||
;; programming, but not if just editing C files. Simpler help commands
|
||
;; are in help.el
|
