Re: Comment on Emacs Lisp Introduction

[Fren Zeee]

Robert, does your intro book explain things like how to get the full
definition of a function like for example

next-line which is a down arrow

(symbol-function 'next-line)
#[(arg) "\203& [next-line-add-newlines arg abbrev-mode 1 nil "
" line-move (line-move arg) ((... ...))] 3 1337315 "p"]

I could not figure out from online doc and apropos how to do it.

Basically, I want lisp code to see how it maintains to try to got to
the same column below unlike for example

forward-line
