Notable changes in EMACS v150:   ($ := <ESC>)		13-Oct-80

* Many bug fixes in the journaling facility. JOURNAL now records all
file names in the journal file for replaying.

* New function for comparing 2 buffers (M-X Compare Windows) has been
added.

* The VT100 page mode facility has been modified slightly to be more
compatible with other libraries, such as SLOWLY. For complete
information on using VT100's in EMACS, read EMACS:VT100.TXT.

* To suppress automatic BLISS mode (based on file extension), set the
variable "No Auto BLISS Mode" non-zero. (Ie: 1m.vNo Auto BLISS Mode$)

* A fairly reasonalble EMACS manual (EMACS:EMACS.GUIDE) is available and
may be printed using a limit of 300 pages.

* WORDAB users should read EMACS:WORDAB.NEWS. The WORDAB library sets the
  variable EXIT HOOK so ^R Save File is not called when EMACS exits. To
  return previous functionality the EXIT HOOK variable needs to be
  initialized prior to loading the WORDAB library. In your EMACS.INIT file
  insert:

	!* Now setup for new WORDAB library which destroys $EXIT_HOOK$ *!
	@:i*/Q.F-Q..F"E F^XF^Y"NM(M.M^R Save File$)'
	             "#FQ..F"GM..F''$/m.vExit Hook$
	m(m.m load lib$)EMACS:wordab$

* The following command name changes have been made:
   Alter Options	 =>	Edit Options
   Edit ..D		 =>	Edit Syntax Table
   ^R Find File		 =>	Find File
   & Macro Get Full Name =>	& Macro Name

* The following commands in your init file might be of some use:

   1m.vTags Find File$		Setting this variable will cause
				Find File to be used instead of
				Visit File in the default init file.

   1m.vTime Only$		Suppress date in MODLIN

   1fs invmode$			Use inverse video for the mode line
				and error messages on terminals that
				have this feature.

   1m.vNo Auto BLISS Mode$	Suppress entering BLISS mode when
				editing files with the extensions
				such as: B36, BLI, REQ, and R36.

* The variables - Search Command and Search Quote may be defined to
contain the characters to be used by the EMACS search commands if you
re-define the invoking ^R mode definitions.
