To James Gilmore and others,
	Having read the UniPress Emacs manual myself from cover to cover I can
understand why someone might not be able to find something they are looking
for.  Their "complete" index is not, and is even wrong!  The organization
of the manual is less than consistent, and so on and so on.
     Thus I can see why Charles Brown could not find out how to globally
bind a variable.  This net category is used for communication between EMACS
users and helping newcomers figure out how to use it is one of it's functions.
Perhaps instead politely insulting him, you could explain the usefulness of
ESC-?, and execute-mlisp-buffer.
     Remember, this net has been built by us to help us, so let's use it that
way.
