Two questions:

1.	Is there an Gnu Emacs Emacs-Lisp programming manual (either
	tutorial or reference)?  The on-line help is useful, but it
	conveys neither an overview of the available Emacs-Lisp
	functionality nor Emacs-Lisp programming techniques.  I know
	Lisp, but I still feel a bit lost when writing Emacs-Lisp
	code.  Please post a response so all may benefit.

2.	From Gnu Emacs' on-line help: "Turning on text-mode calls the
	value of the variable text-mode-hook, if that value is
	non-nil."  So just how does one set the "value" of the
	variable text-mode-hook?  The printed manual and the on-line
	help do not specify this.  I've tried

	     (setq text-mode-hook 'my-own-function)

	but this does not work (and it seemed the most logical way).
