trying to write an emacs extension. all i got was "writing gnu emacs extensions" copyright 1997. i figured i'd follow it until i came across something obviously outdated. that happened on page 19 mid-way through the first example where it refers to the keybinding delete-backward-char which isn't in the default bindings. actually it happened back on page 12 where it says backspace is bound to help, which isn't true. whatever, i kept reading to find out how to rebind keys until the delete-backward-char thing.
anyways, now i'm trying to read the emacs lisp introduction. turns out the easiest way to do that is opening emacs, going to menu option "Help|More Manuals|Introduction to Emacs Lisp". clicking that drops you into an info reader thing. turns out the emacs menubar grows an "Info" menu with basic navigation. but that didn't stop me from not noticing it and searching the internet for 20 minutes first. i know i've seen an info tutorial before. oh yeah! go to "Help|More Manuals|All other Manuals" then search for "info" with "C-s info" then hitting C-s over and over. it's near the bottom.
