        forward-paragraph, find-file, current-kill, yank, and yank-pop.
        Removed INSTALL MANIFEST from the directory since those files are
        now irrelevant.  Updated Info file in ../info.  Changed numbering
        so is now Revised Third Edition and this instance's edition-number
        is 3.00.  Did not update ISBN number.

        * emacs-lisp-intro.texi: Remove version reference for X colors.
        Document `='.  Remove mention that :eval was new in 21.  Updated

        * emacs-lisp-intro.texi: Many changes since it turned out that
        many `simple' functions were rewritten.  Changes to the text
        regarding zap-to-char, mark-whole-buffer, append-to-buffer,
        copy-to-buffer, beginning-of-buffer, what-line, and possibly
        others.  (I have not reviewed all yet.)  This instance does build
        for Info and TeX.

        * emacs-lisp-intro.texi: Deleted in directory copy of texinfo.tex

        * texinfo.tex: Changed to version 2006-02-13.16
        to enable a DVI build using the more recent versions of TeX.
