-This is the introduction to a list of frequently asked questions (FAQ) about
-GNU Emacs with answers.  This article contains a listing of the questions;
-subsequent articles contain the questions and answers.
-
-The FAQ list is posted to reduce the noise level in the `gnu.emacs.help'
-newsgroup (which is also the `help-gnu-emacs' mailing list) which results from
-the repetition of frequently asked questions, wrong answers to these questions,
-corrections to the wrong answers, corrections to the corrections, debate, name
-calling, etc.  Also, it serves as a repository of the canonical "best" answers
-to these questions.  However, if you know a better answer or even a slight
-change that improves an answer, please tell us!
-
-If you know the answer of a question is in the FAQ list, please reply to the
-question by e-mail instead of posting.  Help reduce noise!
-
-The FAQ list is crossposted to `comp.emacs' because some sites do not receive
-the `gnu.*' newsgroups.  The FAQ list is also crossposted to `news.answers'.
-
-Please suggest new questions, answers, wording changes, deletions, etc.  The
-most helpful form for suggestions is a context diff (ie., the output of `diff
--c').  Include `FAQ' in the subject of messages sent to us about the FAQ list.
-
-Please do not send questions to us just because you do not want to disturb a
-lot of people and you think we would know the answer.  We do not have time to
-answer questions individually.  :-(
-
-Full instructions for getting the latest FAQ are in question 22.  Also see the
-`Introduction to news.answers' posting in the `news.answers' newsgroup, or send
-e-mail to `mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu' with `help' on a body line, or use FTP,
-WAIS, or Prospero to rtfm.mit.edu.
-
-These ideas have already been suggested, but we have not had time to
-implement them:
-
-  * A Texinfo version.
-  * Marking questions in the table of contents that have been changed
-    recently.

-+  In the words of the author:
-+
-+    With these patches, Emacs becomes fully 8-bit operational.  There is
-+    support for displaying 8-bit characters, as well as for entering such
-+    characters from the keyboard.  In addition, upcase/lowcase tranlatsion
-+    is supported, accented characters are recognized as "letters" (important
-+    when doing 'forward-word', for example), and text with 8-bit characters
-+    can be sorted correctly.
-+
-+    A Meta-shift key can still be used, provided that you run in an
-+    environment where it is possible to distinguish between a character
-+    entered using the Meta-shift key and one entered directly. The diffs
-+    include patches to make this work under SunView (with emacstool) as
-+    well as under X.  If you can't use a Meta-shift key, you have to enter
-+    Meta-commands with the ESC-prefix.
