Thanks, I'll do it.

I'm embarrassed.  When I took a closer look at the new emacs.rc file, I
noticed the change at once.  Well, thanks for changing it; it certainly
makes things easier to read.

Guilty.  In fact, I could not download the docs anyway.  What I can't
afford yet is a new modem.  My old one was smitten by lightning.  At 300
baud, the doc file would far exceed my time privileges at the
Programmer's Room.  If I had 1200 baud again, I simply would have
downloaded the file.  But this is not your problem.  Your irritation is
justified; I simply want to register the point that I was not
*complaining* about the size of the docs.  On the contrary, the
documentation for micro-emacs is a welcome exception to the rule of
sparse or unintelligible documentation for non-commercial (and many
comercial) programs.  If the file were tiny, there would be something to
complain about.

I think you've earned it.
