mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

[Salman Khilji <address@hidden>]

After RTFMing and going thru the online manual (Help | Full Manuals | User 
Manual), I have a couple of questions:

1)  When I select, for example, Alt-S, TeXmacs goes into "strong content tag" 
mode.  Then I type a word or two in strong mode.  How do I come back to 
normal using Keyboard?  I know I can click the left-mouse button, but I'd 
rather do it using the keyboard.

2)  In the manual, when you are asked to follow a menu command, the commands 
are typeset with nice arrows like "Document --> Page --> Type --> Paper".  
How do I create these menu-like objects?  what keyboard strokes do I have to 
enter to create such an object?  I am totally lost here.

3) When should one use the "Strong" tag and when to use "emphasize"?  I 
really 
can't decide based on whats in the manual.  I mean if I use strong text, I 
want to emphasize the text, don't I?

4)  Specific key-strokes in the TeXmacs manual are enclosed in a yellow box.  
Like:

+-----+
| C-S |
+-----+

How do one create these boxes?  Can someone please give me a step by step 
keyboard strokes to accomplish this?


5)  I am LOTS of other questions like these.  I intend to post more later.  
Shall I compile my thoughts in another document and give it to TeXmacs 
maintainers to include it in the next version of TeXmacs or should I somehow 
modify the current "User Manual".  I find that the user manual looks pretty 
nice, but it does not give enough details for dumb people like me to achieve 
the effects.  I want to include such details.  Maybe a set of short tutorials 
(one page each) would be a nice idea instead of having to read a long 
document from start to end.  We could call this "TeXmacs quick start".  This 
would be a "99% fat free" manual.  No details----just a few quick keyboard 
strokes to achieve a certain effect.  How shall I go about this?
