  example, pressing the @key{TAB} key automatically indents the line the
  cursor is on by the right amount.  A command to properly indent the
  code in a region is customarily bound to @kbd{M-C-\}.  Indentation is
! designed so that you can see which elements of a list belongs to which
  list---elements of a sub-list are indented more than the elements of
  the enclosing list.

  Another way to think about @code{let} is that it is like a @code{setq}
  that is temporary and local.  The values set by @code{let} are
  automatically undone when the @code{let} is finished.  The setting
! only effects expressions that are inside the bounds of the @code{let}
  expression.  In computer science jargon, we would say ``the binding of
  a symbol is visible only in functions called in the @code{let} form;
  in Emacs Lisp, scoping is dynamic, not lexical.''

  Before looking at the code, let's consider what the function
  definition has to contain: it must include an expression that makes
  the function interactive so it can be called by typing @kbd{M-x
! beginning-of-buffer} or by typing a keychord such as @kbd{C-<}; it
  must include code to leave a mark at the original position in the
  buffer; and it must include code to move the cursor to the beginning
  of the buffer.

  @cindex Asterisk for read-only buffer
  @findex * @r{for read-only buffer}
  
! The asterisk is for the situation when the buffer is a read-only
! buffer---a buffer that cannot be modified.  If @code{insert-buffer} is
! called on a buffer that is read-only, a message to this effect is
! printed in the echo area and the terminal may beep or blink at you;
! you will not be permitted to insert anything into current buffer.  The
! asterisk does not need to be followed by a newline to separate it from
! the next argument.

  @code{cons}.  Find out what happens when you @code{cons} a list onto
  itself.  Replace the first element of the list of four birds with a
  fish.  Replace the rest of that list with a list of other fish.

  @findex defcustom
  
  You can specify variables using @code{defcustom} so that you and
! others can then can use Emacs' @code{customize} feature to set their
  values.  (You cannot use @code{customize} to write function
  definitions; but you can write @code{defuns} in your @file{.emacs}
  file.  Indeed, you can write any Lisp expression in your @file{.emacs}

  The answers can be found by a quick test.  When @code{(% -1 5)} is
  evaluated, a negative number is returned; and if @code{nthcdr} is
  called with a negative number, it returns the same value as if it were
! called with a first argument of zero.  This can be seen be evaluating
  the following code.
