Ask an easy question and you get 800 replies. Thanks to everyone
who sent replies. No more are needed. All I needed was
verification of the current FSF address, and the price of the
Elisp manual so I can fill out a requisition form.

I already have the electronic texinfo files, and don't want to
print it myself because my company is willing to buy me a brand
shiny new bound copy which I can obliterate with my notes.  And
I'm well aware of the ordering form et al in the etc directory.

For others who are wondering the same thing, there is a list of
commonly asked questions that is periodically posted to this
location, which I had forgotten that I saved last time I saw it.

Quoting from that file:

17: What is the current address of the FSF?

  Snail mail address:
    Free Software Foundation
    675 Massachusetts Avenue
    Cambridge, MA 02139, USA
  
  Phone number:
    (617) 876-3296
  
  E-mail addresses:
    gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu {probably read by Len Tower}
    gnulists@prep
  
15: Where can I get documentation on GNU Emacs Lisp?
  
  Obtain the GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual for Emacs 18 under Unix.  It
  is available from the FSF for $50.  The latest revision is edition 1.02
  dated July 1990.

Now everybody knows. But I guess that's the purpose of this group
Thanks again.
