emacs directory missing?

hello,
I have a small question to ask.  I recently (late last week) downloaded
emacs version 18.59 from prep.  After getting it all compiled, I read the
man page which seems to imply that there should have been a doc directory
included in the downloaded version.  I downloaded the file twice, and both
times I did not see a doc version either in the untarred format or in the
compiled (using build-install) version.  Is there another file to be 
downloaded for this part?  (I was looking for the sample file emacs.emacs)
( /usr/local/emacs/doc/emacs.emacs is where it is supposed to be according
to the man page, yet there is no /usr/local/emacs/doc and /usr/local/emacs
does exist).
I tried to grep the entire emacs directory after untarring it and did not
find any emacs.emacs file in there...

any pointers are appreciated, and thank you,
David Hsu
