       Greetings, all you Freemacs hackers!

     I've been using Freemacs 1.5c for ~1 year but haven't really been
   doing some MINT-programming until recently (hmm, mostly tonight,
   actually...) and I've got a few questions, which I hope some of you
   ruff.n.tuff netters can answer.

Me?  No, I'm russ.n.tuss.

     - How do I create a library? I want to make a "T"-library (T for
   TeX) to keep it apart from the rest of Freemacs and it was no problemo
   to create the *functions* - but the library ?!?

The trick is to create the filename first.  Like this:

Name:Tfilename
[*]tex[*]

Or at least it works this way in the current Freemacs, 1.5f...

     - Also, it seems to me, that the "local-mode"'s changes to the key
   bindings doesn't disappear when executing the #(Fexit-mode)-function ?
   At first, I was surprised to find my own local-key-bindings still
   active when I switches to C-mode, but then I noticed, that the
   C-mode's local bindings also stuck when changing to eg
   Fundamental-mode ?! Is this a bug in v1.5c or am I (and the creators
   of C-mode etc) doing something wrong ?

bug.

     - Where can the reference guide to Freemacs be obtained? The minttut
   and emacs.doc doesn't quite suffice, IMHO.

But before you get too excited about writing a TeX mode, you should
wait for 1.6a, which will have at least two and maybe three TeX modes.
I'm not sure which one is better (not being a TeXer, but instead a
techer), so I'm going to include them all.  :-)

Freemacs 1.6a should be out before the end of the month.
