At the risk of flames, he steps in...

Ok here's how it all started.  See if this sounds familiar...

I'm new to Unix, and I immediately hated both the default mailer, and
vi.  Whilst searching for another editor, I discovered that some
previous sys administ. had installed Emacs.  Two weeks later, I
discovered the Rmail facility.  What an improvement!

But ever the dissatified one, it's a few months later, and some things
are starting to bug me.  In particular, I want yank-mail-original to
use a single '>' for the fill prefix instead of an indent 3.  No
problem, I'll just get ahold of the elisp documentation, and figure
out how to patch that puppy myself right?

Now were getting down to it.  Trouble is, the elisp documentation is
written in a device-independent format called TeXInfo.  No problem,
that's what free software's all about right?

So my next move is to get ahold of the TeXInfo docs from MIT, and try
to install that.  Well, no dice, at least partly because it tries to
write to directories that I don't have write access to.

Next stop, trying to get TeX, then LaTeX.  Now I actally managed to
get a copy to load onto my DOS 486, (called emTeX), but there's no
Docs that tell how to use it.

I checked all the FAQs I could find, both in comp.text, and
comp.text.tex, and there's nothing that describes how to get up and
running with all this.  Aaaarrgh..

To finally cut this off, question is, is there a simpler way that I
can view/print/download/absorb the elisp docs?

(More than) Nuff said!
