Fascinating pehnomenon we see here all the time in comp.emacs...

From article <3283@silver.bacs.indiana.edu>, by templon@silver.bacs.indiana.edu (jeffrey templon):

Which emacs did he mean? GNU-emacs? Gosmacs? Unipress? JOVE? MicroEmacs?
any one of the numerous other emacs variants (or deviants :-) ) ?

Somebody responded "use the help and info facilities" (good for UniPress
and GNU, but not for many of the others), and somebody else mentioned
some keys to hit (GNU specific)...

Please folks, when posting about anything where a term e.g. "emacs" is
SO generic, state which one you mean...
