Hello,
	I followed the README instructions in dist-18.55/man and ran
into one small problem:  In the emacs.kys file, the symbol @ is used
three times with the intention of producing a printed @ in the key
glossary.  However, tex interpreted the @ as a special character whose
catcode was the same as \ and so the @} which appears is treated as
if it were \} screwing up the curly brace count.  I changed it to be
\char'100, which causes the final (after running texindex) version to
be alright but produces an H instead in the first emacs.dvi.  Trying
to change the catcode inside the \entry didn't work.

	Yours,
      Andy Wolf
