on the subject of books, has anyone read the O'Reilly
Emacs book? ("Learning GNU Emacs", ISBN 1-56592-152-6,
<http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/gnu2/>). Is it worth buying? I
personally have only tried Emacs a couple of times, and I absolutely
hated it, but a book might help give me somewhere to start. The main
thing I'm wondering is how up to date it is, and how well it would apply
to different/newer versions, e.g. GNU Emacs 20 (the URL above mentions
19.30) or Xemacs, for example?
