Bookstore. SAMS' "Teach Yourself Emacs in 24 Hours" Try Xemacs, menu Options/Costomize/[it goes on forever...] and it screws with the bottom of your ~/.emacs file. Do learn to use the "info" system well even if you don't like it. It contains a remarkable amount of helpful info and you may even find it's a pretty good system after you learn it. The "s" command is your friend: regular-expression search through the current info topic (eg, Xemacs, or Gnus, or gcc; not through the current page). And don't forget the indexes. The tutorials only show you the means. You pretty much have to go by the customize menues and info pages to see what to customize.
