   Two questions, if you can help:
   1. Is there a way to print the current manual (distributed on tape) if
   I don't have TEX? (I'm on VMS).

If you have the emacs.dvi file already (I'm not sure if this is currently
distributed) then you don't need TeX, but you do need another program
that filters the .dvi file to something your printer accepts such as
Postscript.  Many such programs such as dvi2ps are available.

But why waste your time and your printer.  The Free Software
Foundation sells very readable manuals for $15 a piece.  They are in
the Cambridge, MA telephone directory.

Additionally, you should learn to use Info.  It lets you browse the
entire manual online.  Once you know how to use it (try {C-h a info})
you probably won't need a printed manual.

   2. Is there a way to make Incremental Search (CTRL-S) case sensitive (I do
     Modula-2).

Yes, do a (setq case-fold-search nil) to turn case sensitivity on.
Interactively, you can do a {M-x setq <RTN>} and fill in the
parameters. {M-x apropos <RTN> fold} will show you all the variables
associated with case-folding.

As a side note, not a lot of people know that {M-x apropos} often
displays much more information that {C-h a} since it includes
functions without "interactive" declarations and variables not
normally intended for user setting.
