    For those users who live backwards in time, here is information about
  downgrading to Emacs version 21.4.  We hope you will enjoy the greater
! simplicity that results from the absence of many newer features.
  
  @itemize @bullet
  @item
! The input methods for Emacs are included in a separate distribution
! called ``Leim''.  To use them, you must extract the Leim tar file on
! top of the Emacs distribution, into the same directory, before you
! build Emacs.
  
  @item
! The file position and line number information is now at the end
! of the mode line.
  
  @item
! When a file is managed with version control, the command @kbd{C-x C-q}
! (whose general meaning is to make a buffer read-only or writable) now
! does so by checking the file in or out.  Checking the file out makes
! the buffer writable; checking it in makes the buffer read-only (at
! least with RCS).
  
! You can still use @kbd{C-x v v} to do these operations if you wish;
! its meaning is unchanged.  If you want to control the buffer's
! read-only flag without performing any version control operation,
! use @kbd{M-x toggle-read-only}.
  
  @item
! Filesets are not supported.
  
  @item
! For simplicity, windows always have fringes.  We wouldn't want
! to in-fringe anyone's windows.  Likewise, horizontal scrolling
! always works the same automatic way.
  
  @item
! When you are logged in as root, all files now give you writable
! buffers in Emacs reflecting the fact that you can write any files.
  
  @item
! Unicode support and unification between address@hidden character
! sets have been removed.  Cutting and pasting X selections does not
! support ``extended segments'' so there are certain coding systems
! it cannot handle.
  
  @item
! @kbd{C-w} in an incremental search always grabs an entire word
! into the search string.  More precisely, it grabs text through
! the next end of a word.
  
  @item
! Yanking now preserves all text properties that were in the killed
! text.  The variable @code{yank-excluded-properties} has no meaning.
  
  @item
! Occur mode, Info mode, and Comint-derived modes now control
! fontification in their own way, and @kbd{M-x font-lock-mode}
! has nothing to do with it.  To control fontification in Info
! mode, use the variable @code{Info-fontify}.
  
  @item
! In Dired's @kbd{!} command, @samp{*} and @samp{?} now
! cause substitution of the file names wherever they appear---not
! only when they are surrounded by whitespace.
  
  @item
! Minibuffer completion commands now always complete the entire
! minibuffer contents, just as if you had typed them at the end
! of the minibuffer, no matter where point is actually located.
  
  @item
  An unquoted @samp{$} in a file name is now an error, if the following

    For those users who live backwards in time, here is information about
  downgrading to Emacs version 21.4.  We hope you will enjoy the greater
! simplicity that results from the absence of many Emacs 22 features.
  
  @itemize @bullet
+ 
  @item
! The buffer position and line number are now displayed at the end of
! the mode line, where they can be more easily seen.
  
  @item
! The mode line of the selected window is no longer displayed with a
! special face.  All mode lines are created equal.
  
  @item
! Clicking on a link with the left mouse button (@kbd{mouse-1}) will
! always set point at the position clicked, instead of following the
! link.  If you want to follow the link, use the middle mouse button
! (@kbd{mouse-2}).
  
! @item
! Emacs is tired of X droppings.  If you drop a file or a piece of text
! onto an Emacs window, nothing will happen.
  
  @item
! On an xterm, Emacs provides a more convincing simulation of a text
! terminal by not responding to mouse-clicks on the mode-line,
! header-line, or display margin.
  
  @item
! For simplicity, windows always have fringes.  We wouldn't want to
! in-fringe anyone's windows.  Likewise, horizontal scrolling always
! works in the same automatic way.
  
  @item
! The horizontal-bar cursor shape has been removed.
  
  @item
! If command line arguments are given, Emacs will not display a splash
! screen, so that you can immediately get on with your editing.  The
! command-line option @samp{--no-splash} is therefore obsolete, and has
! been removed.
  
  @item
! The command line options @samp{--color}, @samp{--fullwidth},
! @samp{--fullheight}, @samp{--fullscreen}, @samp{--no-blinking-cursor},
! @samp{--no-desktop}, and @samp{-Q} have also been removed.
  
  @item
! The @samp{--geometry} option applies only to the initial frame, and
! the @samp{-f} option will not read arguments for interactive
! functions.
  
  @item
! Emacs now looks for @file{.emacs} and @file{.emacs_SHELL} in one
! standard location---your home directory.  Don't put these files in
! @file{~/.emacs.d}; they won't be found.
  
  @item
! Emacs will not read @file{~/.abbrev_defs} automatically.  If you want
! to load abbrev definitions from a file, you must always do so
! explicitly.
! 
! @item
! When you are logged in as root, all files now give you writable
! buffers, reflecting the fact that you can write any files.
  
  @item
! The maximum size of buffers and integer variables has been halved.  On
! 32-bit machines, the maximum buffer size is now 128 megabytes.
  
  @item
  An unquoted @samp{$} in a file name is now an error, if the following
***************
*** 82,146 ****
  the @code{setenv} command does not expand @samp{$} at all.
  
  @item
  Commands to set the mark at a place away from point, including
  @kbd{M-@@}, @kbd{M-h}, etc., don't do anything special when you repeat
  them.  In most cases, typing these commands multiple times is
! equivalent to using them once.  @kbd{M-h} does not use its numeric
! argument.
  
  @item
! @address@hidden address@hidden has no special meaning and neither does
! @kbd{C-u C-x C-x}.
  
  @item
! There is no horizontal-bar cursor.
  
  @item
! The faces @code{minibuffer-prompt} and @code{mode-line-inactive}
! do not exist, and the features they control don't exist either.
  
  @item
! The default value of @code{keyboard-coding-system} is always @code{nil}.
! Emacs does not set it based on your locale settings.
! If you want some other value, you must set it yourself.
  
  @item
! SGML mode does not handle XML syntax, and does not have indentation support.
  
  @item
! The @kbd{C-h} subcommands have been rearranged---especially those that
! display specific files.  Type @kbd{C-h C-h} to see a list of these
! commands; that will show you what is different.
  
  @item
! Emacs does not read @file{~/.abbrev_defs} automatically; if you want
! to load abbrev definitions from a file, you must always do so
! explicitly.
  
  @item
! The @samp{--fullwidth}, @samp{--fullheight} and @samp{--fullscreen}
! command line options are not supported.
  
  @item
! The @samp{--geometry} option now entirely applies only to the initial
! frame.
  
  @item
! Many commands have been removed from the menus or rearranged.
  
  @item
  Many @code{etags} features for customizing parsing using regexps
  have been removed.
  
  @item
! The CUA, ido, table, tramp, reveal, ruler-mode, and ibuffer packages
! have been removed.  So has the spreadsheet, SES, and the algebraic
! calculator, Calc.  (We distribute Calc separately.)
  
  @item
! The kmacro package has been removed.  To start a keyboard macro you
! must use @kbd{C-x (}; to end one, @kbd{C-x )}; to execute the last
! one, @kbd{C-x e}.
  
  @item
  To keep up with decreasing computer memory capacity and disk space, many

  the @code{setenv} command does not expand @samp{$} at all.
  
  @item
+ Emacs will not query you if a command accumulates too much undo
+ information.  If Emacs runs out of memory as a result, it will handle
+ this by crashing.
+ 
+ @item
+ Many commands have been removed from the menus or rearranged.
+ 
+ @item
+ The @kbd{C-h} (help) subcommands have been rearranged---especially
+ those that display specific files.  Type @kbd{C-h C-h} to see a list
+ of these commands; that will show you what is different.
+ 
+ @item
+ The @kbd{C-h v} and @kbd{C-h f} commands no longer show a hyperlink to
+ the C source code, even if it is available.  If you want to find the
+ source code, grep for it.
+ 
+ @item
+ The apropos commands will not accept a list of words to match, in
+ order to encourage users to be more specific.  Also, the user option
+ @code{apropos-sort-by-scores} has been removed.
+ 
+ @item
+ The minibuffer prompt is now displayed using the default face.
+ The colon is enough to show you what part is the prompt.
+ 
+ @item
+ Minibuffer completion commands always complete the entire minibuffer
+ contents, just as if you had typed them at the end of the minibuffer,
+ no matter where point is actually located.
+ 
+ @item
+ The command @code{backward-kill-sexp} is now bound to @kbd{C-M-delete}
+ and @kbd{C-M-backspace}.  Be careful when using these key sequences!
+ It may shut down your X server, or reboot your operating system.
+ 
+ @item
  Commands to set the mark at a place away from point, including
  @kbd{M-@@}, @kbd{M-h}, etc., don't do anything special when you repeat
  them.  In most cases, typing these commands multiple times is
! equivalent to typing them once.  @kbd{M-h} ignores numeric arguments.
  
  @item
! If you want to repeat a jump to a previous mark, you should supply the
! prefix argument explicitly.  So, instead of typing @kbd{C-u C-SPC
! C-SPC C-SPC}, type @kbd{C-u C-SPC C-u C-SPC C-u C-SPC}.
  
  @item
! @address@hidden address@hidden has no special meaning--it just sets the
! mark twice.  Neither does @kbd{C-u C-x C-x}, which simply exchanges
! point and mark like @kbd{C-x C-x}.
  
  @item
! The function @code{sentence-end} has been eliminated in favor of a
! more straightforward approach: directly setting the variable
! @code{sentence-end}.  For example, to end each sentence with a single
! space, use
! 
! @lisp
! (setq sentence-end "[.?!][]\"')@}]*\\($\\|[ \t]\\)[ \t\n]*")
! @end lisp
  
  @item
! The variable @code{fill-nobreak-predicate} is no longer customizable,
! and it can only hold a single function.
  
  @item
! Non-breaking spaces and hyphens are displayed just like normal
! characters.  The user option @code{show-nonbreak-escape} is therefore
! obsolete, and has been removed.
  
  @item
! @kbd{C-w} in an incremental search always grabs an entire word
! into the search string.  More precisely, it grabs text through
! the next end of a word.
  
  @item
! Yanking now preserves all text properties that were in the killed
! text.  The variable @code{yank-excluded-properties} has been removed.
  
  @item
! Occur mode, Info mode, and Comint-derived modes now control
! fontification in their own way, and @kbd{M-x font-lock-mode} has
! nothing to do with it.  To control fontification in Info mode, use the
! variable @code{Info-fontify}.
  
  @item
! The Grep package has been merged with Compilation mode.  Many
! grep-specific commands and user options have thus been eliminated.
! Also, @kbd{M-x grep} never tries the GNU grep @samp{-H} option,
! and instead silently appends @file{/dev/null} to the command line.
  
  @item
! In Dired's @kbd{!} command, @samp{*} and @samp{?} now
! cause substitution of the file names wherever they appear---not
! only when they are surrounded by whitespace.

! 
! @item
! SGML mode does not handle XML syntax, and does not have indentation
! support.
! 
! @item
! Many Info mode commands have been removed.  Incremental search in Info
! searches only the current node.
  
  @item
  Many @code{etags} features for customizing parsing using regexps
  have been removed.
  
  @item
! The Emacs server now runs a small C program called @file{emacsserver},
! rather than trying to handle everything in Emacs Lisp.  Now there can
! only be one Emacs server running at a time.  The @code{server-mode}
! command and @code{server-name} user option have been eliminated.
! 
! @item
! The @file{emacsclient} program no longer accepts the @samp{--eval} and
! @samp{--display} command line options.
! 
! @item
! The command @code{quail-show-key}, for showing how to input a
! character, has been removed.
! 
! @item
! The default value of @code{keyboard-coding-system} is always
! @code{nil}, regardless of your locale settings.  If you want some
! other value, set it yourself.
! 
! @item
! Unicode support and unification between address@hidden character sets
! have been removed.  Cutting and pasting X selections does not support
! ``extended segments'', so there are certain coding systems it cannot
! handle.
! 
! @item
! The input methods for Emacs are included in a separate distribution
! called ``Leim''.  To use this, you must extract the Leim tar file on
! top of the Emacs distribution, into the same directory, before you
! build Emacs.
! 
! @item
! The following input methods have been eliminated: belarusian,
! bulgarian-bds, bulgarian-phonetic, chinese-sisheng, croatian, dutch,
! georgian, latin-alt-postfix, latin-postfix, latin-prefix,
! latvian-keyboard, lithuanian-numeric, lithuanian-keyboard,
! malayalam-inscript, rfc1345, russian-computer, sgml, slovenian,
! tamil-inscript ucs, ukrainian-computer, vietnamese-telex, and welsh.
! 
! @item
! The following language environments have been eliminated: Belarusian,
! Bulgarian, Chinese-EUC-TW, Croatian, French, Georgian, Italian,
! Latin-6, Latin-7, Latvian, Lithuanian, Malayalam, Russian, Russian,
! Slovenian, Swedish, Tajik, Tamil, UTF-8, Ukrainian, Ukrainian, Welsh,
! and Windows-1255.
! 
! @item
! The @code{code-pages} library, which contained various 8-bit coding
! systems, has been removed.
! 
! @item
! The Kmacro package has been replaced with a simple and elegant
! keyboard macro system.  Use @kbd{C-x (} to start a new keyboard macro,
! @kbd{C-x )} to end the macro, and @kbd{C-x e} to execute the last
! macro.
! 
! @item
! The Calc, CUA, GDB-UI, Ibuffer, Ido, Password, Printing, Reveal,
! Ruler-mode, SES, Table, Tramp, and URL packages have been removed.
! The Benchmark, Cfengine, Conf, Dns, Flymake, Python, Thumbs, and
! Wdired modes have also been removed.
! 
! @item
! The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual and the Introduction to Programming in
! Emacs Lisp are now distributed separately, not in the Emacs
! distribution.
! 
! @item
! On MS Windows, there is no longer any support for tooltips, images,
! sound, different mouse pointer shapes, or pointing devices with more
! than 3 buttons.  If you want these features, consider switching to
! another operating system.  But even if you don't want these features,
! you should still switch---for freedom's sake.
  
  @item
! Emacs will not use Unicode for clipboard operations on MS Windows.

  To keep up with decreasing computer memory capacity and disk space, many
