        !             2: 
        !             3: :entry "Prefix-1" "Command"
        !             4: This reads the next character and runs a command based on the  charac-
        !             5: ter typed.  If you wait for more than a second or so before typing the
        !             6: next character, the message "ESC" will be printed on the message  line
        !             7: to remind you that JOVE is waiting for another character.
        !             8: 
        !             9: :entry "Prefix-2" "Command"
        !            10: This reads the next character and runs a command based on the  charac-
        !            11: ter  typed.   If  you  wait for more than a second or so before typing
        !            12: another character, the message "C-X" will be printed  on  the  message
        !            13: line to remind you that JOVE is waiting for another character.
        !            14: 
        !            15: :entry "Prefix-3" "Command"
        !            16: This reads the next character and runs a command based on the  charac-
        !            17: ter typed.  If you wait for more than a second or so before typing the
        !            18: next character, the character that invoked Prefix-3 will be printed on
        !            19: the message line to remind you that JOVE is waiting for another one.
        !            20: 
        !            21: :entry "allow-^S-and-^Q" "Variable"
        !            22: This variable, when set, tells JOVE that your terminal does  not  need
        !            23: to  use  the  characters  C-S and C-Q for flow control, and that it is
        !            24: okay to bind things to them.  This variable should  be  set  depending
        !            25: upon what kind of terminal you have.
        !            26: 
        !            27: :entry "allow-bad-filenames" "Variable"
        !            28: If set, this variable permits filenames to  contain  "bad"  characters
        !            29: such as those from the set *&%!"`[]{}.  These files are harder to deal
        !            30: with, because the characters mean something to the shell.  The default
        !            31: value is "off".
        !            32: 
        !            33: :entry "append-region" "Command"
        !            34: This appends the region to a specified file.  If the file does not al-
        !            35: ready exist it is created.
        !            36: 
        !            37: :entry "apropos" "Command"
        !            38: This types out all the commands, variables and macros with the specif-
        !            39: ic  keyword  in their names.  For each command and macro that contains
        !            40: the string, the key sequence that can be used to execute  the  command
        !            41: or  macro  is  printed;  with variables, the current value is printed.
        !            42: So, to find all the commands that are related to windows, you type
        !            43: 
        !            44:      ESC X apropos window<Return>
        !            45: 
        !            46: 
        !            47: :entry "auto-case-abbrev" "Variable"
        !            48: When this variable is on (the default), word abbreviations are adjust-
        !            49: ed  for case automatically.  For example, if "jove" were the abbrevia-
        !            50: tion for "jonathan's own version of emacs", then typing  "jove"  would
        !            51: give  you  "jonathan's own version of emacs", typing "Jove" would give
        !            52: you "Jonathan's own version of emacs", and typing  "JOVE"  would  give
        !            53: you  "Jonathan's  Own Version of Emacs".  When this variable is "off",
        !            54: upper and lower case are distinguished when looking for the  abbrevia-
        !            55: tion,  i.e.,  in the example above, "JOVE" and "Jove" would not be ex-
        !            56: panded unless they were defined separately.
        !            57: 
        !            58: :entry "auto-execute-command" "Command"
        !            59: This tells JOVE to execute a command automatically when a  file  whose
        !            60: name  matches  a  specified pattern is visited.  The first argument is
        !            61: the command you want executed and the second is a  regular  expression
        !            62: pattern that specifies the files that apply.  For example, if you want
        !            63: to be in show-match-mode when you edit C source files (that is,  files
        !            64: that end with ".c" or ".h") you can type
        !            65: 
        !            66:      ESC X auto-execute-command show-match-mode .*.[ch]$
        !            67: 
        !            68: 
        !            69: :entry "auto-execute-macro" "Command"
        !            70: This is like "auto-execute-command" except you use it to execute  mac-
        !            71: ros automatically instead of built-in commands.
        !            72: 
        !            73: :entry "auto-fill-mode" "Command"
        !            74: This turns on Auto Fill mode (or off if  it's  currently  on)  in  the
        !            75: selected  buffer.   When  JOVE  is  in Auto Fill mode it automatically
        !            76: breaks lines for you when you reach the right margin so you don't have
        !            77: to  remember  to hit Return.  JOVE uses 78 as the right margin but you
        !            78: can change that by setting  the  variable  "right-margin"  to  another
        !            79: value.  See the "set" command to learn how to do this.
        !            80: 
        !            81: :entry "auto-indent-mode" "Command"
        !            82: This turns on Auto Indent mode (or off if it's currently  on)  in  the
        !            83: selected buffer.  When JOVE is in Auto Indent mode, Return indents the
        !            84: new line to the same position as the line you were just on.   This  is
        !            85: useful  for  lining up C code (or any other language (but what else is
        !            86: there besides C?)).  This is out of date because of  the  new  command
        !            87: called  "newline-and-indent"  but  it  remains because of several "re-
        !            88: quests" on the part of, uh, enthusiastic and excitable users, that  it
        !            89: be left as it is.
        !            90: 
        !            91: :entry "backward-character" "Command"
        !            92: This moves point backward over a single character.  If point is at the
        !            93: beginning of the line it moves to the end of the previous line.
        !            94: 
        !            95: :entry "backward-paragraph" "Command"
        !            96: This moves point backward to the beginning of the current or  previous
        !            97: paragraph.   Paragraphs  are bounded by lines that begin with a Period
        !            98: or Tab, or by blank lines; a change in indentation may also  signal  a
        !            99: break  between paragraphs, except that JOVE allows the first line of a
        !           100: paragraph to be indented differently from the other lines.
        !           101: 
        !           102: :entry "backward-s-expression" "Command"
        !           103: This moves point backward  over  a  s-expression.   It  is  just  like
        !           104: "forward-s-expression" with a negative argument.
        !           105: 
        !           106: :entry "backward-sentence" "Command"
        !           107: This moves point backward to the beginning of the current or  previous
        !           108: sentence.   JOVE  considers the end of a sentence to be the characters
        !           109: ".", "!" or "?" followed by a Return or by one or more spaces.
        !           110: 
        !           111: :entry "backward-word" "Command"
        !           112: This moves point backward to the beginning of the current or  previous
        !           113: word.
        !           114: 
        !           115: :entry "bad-filename-extensions" "Variable"
        !           116: This contains a list of words separated by spaces which are to be con-
        !           117: sidered  bad  filename  extensions,  and  so  will  not  be counted in
        !           118: filename completion.  The default is ".o" so if you  have  jove.c  and
        !           119: jove.o  in the same directory, the filename completion will "not" com-
        !           120: plain of an ambiguity because it will ignore jove.o.
        !           121: 
        !           122: :entry "beginning-of-file" "Command"
        !           123: This moves point backward to the beginning of the buffer.  This  some-
        !           124: times  prints  the  "Point  Pushed" message.  If the top of the buffer
        !           125: isn't on the screen JOVE will set the mark so you can go back to where
        !           126: you were if you want.
        !           127: 
        !           128: :entry "beginning-of-line" "Command"
        !           129: This moves point to the beginning of the current line.
        !           130: 
        !           131: :entry "beginning-of-window" "Command"
        !           132: This moves point to the beginning of the current window.  The sequence
        !           133: "ESC  ," is the same as "ESC <" (beginning of file) except without the
        !           134: shift key on the "<", and can thus can easily be remembered.
        !           135: 
        !           136: :entry "bind-to-key" "Command"
        !           137: This attaches a key to an internal JOVE command so that future hits on
        !           138: that  key  invoke  that command.  For example, to make "C-W" erase the
        !           139: previous word, you type "ESC X bind-to-key kill-previous-word C-W".
        !           140: 
        !           141: :entry "bind-macro-to-key" "Command"
        !           142: This is like "bind-to-key" except you use it to attach keys  to  named
        !           143: macros.
        !           144: 
        !           145: :entry "bind-macro-to-word-abbrev" "Command"
        !           146: This command allows you to bind a macro to a previously  defined  word
        !           147: abbreviation.   Whenever  you  type the abbreviation, it will first be
        !           148: expanded as an abbreviation, and then  the  macro  will  be  executed.
        !           149: Note  that  if  the  macro moves around, you should set the mark first
        !           150: (C-@) and then exchange the point and mark last (C-X C-X).
        !           151: 
        !           152: :entry "buffer-position" "Command"
        !           153: This displays the current file name, current line number, total number
        !           154: of  lines, percentage of the way through the file, and the position of
        !           155: the cursor in the current line.
        !           156: 
        !           157: :entry "c-mode" "Command"
        !           158: This turns on C mode in the currently selected buffer.  This is one of
        !           159: currently  four  possible  major  modes:   Fundamental, Text, C, Lisp.
        !           160: When in C or Lisp mode, Tab, "}", and ")" behave a little  differently
        !           161: from  usual:  They  are  indented to the "right" place for C (or Lisp)
        !           162: programs.  In JOVE, the "right" place is simply  the  way  the  author
        !           163: likes it (but I've got good taste).
        !           164: 
        !           165: :entry "case-character-capitalize" "Command"
        !           166: This capitalizes the character after point, i.e., the  character  undo
        !           167: the  cursor.   If a negative argument is supplied that many characters
        !           168: "before" point are upper cased.
        !           169: 
        !           170: :entry "case-ignore-search" "Variable"
        !           171: This variable, when set, tells JOVE to treat upper and lower  case  as
        !           172: the  same  when  searching.   Thus  "jove" and "JOVE" would match, and
        !           173: "JoVe" would match either.  The default  value  of  this  variable  is
        !           174: "off".
        !           175: 
        !           176: :entry "case-region-lower" "Command"
        !           177: This changes all the upper case letters in the region to  their  lower
        !           178: case equivalent.
        !           179: 
        !           180: :entry "case-region-upper" "Command"
        !           181: This changes all the lower case letters in the region to  their  upper
        !           182: case equivalent.
        !           183: 
        !           184: :entry "case-word-capitalize" "Command"
        !           185: This capitalizes the current word by making the current  letter  upper
        !           186: case  and  making  the rest of the word lower case.  Point is moved to
        !           187: the end of the word.  If point is not positioned on a word it is first
        !           188: moved  forward to the beginning of the next word.  If a negative argu-
        !           189: ment is supplied that many words "before" point are capitalized.  This
        !           190: is  useful  for  correcting the word just typed without having to move
        !           191: point to the beginning of the word yourself.
        !           192: 
        !           193: :entry "case-word-lower" "Command"
        !           194: This lower-cases the current word and leaves point at the end  of  it.
        !           195: If point is in the middle of a word the rest of the word is converted.
        !           196: If point is not in a word it is first moved forward to  the  beginning
        !           197: of  the next word.  If a negative argument is supplied that many words
        !           198: "before" point are converted  to  lower  case.   This  is  useful  for
        !           199: correcting the word just typed without having to move point to the be-
        !           200: ginning of the word yourself.
        !           201: 
        !           202: :entry "case-word-upper" "Command"
        !           203: This upper-cases the current word and leaves point at the end  of  it.
        !           204: If point is in the middle of a word the rest of the word is converted.
        !           205: If point is not in a word it is first moved forward to  the  beginning
        !           206: of  the next word.  If a negative argument is supplied that many words
        !           207: "before" point are converted  to  upper  case.   This  is  useful  for
        !           208: correcting the word just typed without having to move point to the be-
        !           209: ginning of the word yourself.
        !           210: 
        !           211: :entry "character-to-octal-insert" "Command"

        !           747: types: "File", "Scratch", "Process", "I-Process".  "File" is simply  a
        !           748: buffer  that  holds  a  file;  "Scratch" is for buffers that JOVE uses
        !           749: internally; "Process" is one that holds the output from  a  UNIX  com-
        !           750: mand;  "I-Process"  is one that has an interactive process attached to
        !           751: it.  The next column contains the name of the buffer.   And  the  last
        !           752: column is the name of the file that's attached to the buffer.  In this
        !           753: case, both Minibuf and commands.doc have  been  changed  but  not  yet
        !           754: saved.   In  fact  Minibuf  won't be saved since it's an internal JOVE

        !           766: 
        !           767: The first column has the name of the buffer to which  the  process  is
        !           768: attached.   The second has the status of the process; if a process has
        !           769: exited normally the status is "Done" as in fgrep; if the process exit-
        !           770: ed  with  an  error the status is "Exit N" where N is the value of the
        !           771: exit code; if the process was killed by some signal the status is  the
        !           772: name  of  the  signal that was used; otherwise the process is running.
