The version appended to the end will make an 'nroffable' version.
You will probably have to do some minor post-processing to ensure
that the page breaks come out correctly.  Use the output with the
'ms' macros.

There is an easier way.  Type the following (verbatim)

% emacs -l makesum
M-X make-key-summary
C-X C-W keys.summary
C-X C-C

You will then have a file called 'keys.summary' in your directory.

Oh yes, the program.  Apologies for the quick hack.
