	I GNU emacs 18.36.1, it appears that no function can call
	beginning-of-previous-line from the .emacs file, as it does
	not exist yet.  But after the .emacs is finished and you
	start editing, beginning-of-previous-line exists.  I've tried
	looking through the lisp and C source, and I can't find any
	references to this function anywhere.  Does anybody know what's
	going on here?

	The easiest way to repeat is to make the following the
	first line of your .emacs file:

		(yes-of-no-p "How are you? ")

	Then, when prompted, you do:

		^Xo			other-window
		^Hf beginning-of?	describe function

	and you will only see 3 completions.  After emacs finishes
	initializing, there will be 5 completions.
