+@unnumbered Introduction
+
+ You are reading about GNU Emacs, the GNU incarnation of the
+advanced, self-documenting, customizable, extensible editor Emacs.
+(The `G' in `GNU' is not silent.)
+
+ We call Emacs advanced because it provides much more than simple
+insertion and deletion. It can control subprocesses, indent programs
+automatically, show two or more files at once, and edit formatted
+text. Emacs editing commands operate in terms of characters, words,
+lines, sentences, paragraphs, and pages, as well as expressions and
+comments in various programming languages.
+
+ @dfn{Self-documenting} means that at any time you can type a special
+character, @kbd{Control-h}, to find out what your options are. You can
+also use it to find out what any command does, or to find all the commands
+that pertain to a topic. @xref{Help}.
+
+ @dfn{Customizable} means that you can alter Emacs commands' behavior
+in simple ways. For example, if you use a programming language in
+which comments start with @samp{<**} and end with @samp{**>}, you can
+tell the Emacs comment manipulation commands to use those strings
+(@pxref{Comments}). Another sort of customization is rearrangement of
+the command set. For example, you can rebind the basic cursor motion
+commands (up, down, left and right) to any keys on the keyboard that
+you find comfortable. @xref{Customization}.
+
+ @dfn{Extensible} means that you can go beyond simple customization
+and write entirely new commands---programs in the Lisp language to be
+run by Emacs's own Lisp interpreter. Emacs is an ``on-line
+extensible'' system, which means that it is divided into many
+functions that call each other, any of which can be redefined in the
+middle of an editing session. Almost any part of Emacs can be
+replaced without making a separate copy of all of Emacs. Most of the
+editing commands of Emacs are written in Lisp; the few exceptions
+could have been written in Lisp but use C instead for efficiency.
+Writing an extension is programming, but non-programmers can use it
+afterwards. @xref{Top, Emacs Lisp Intro, Preface, eintr, An
+Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp}, if you want to learn Emacs
+Lisp programming.
+
+ When running on a graphical display, Emacs provides its own menus
+and convenient handling of mouse buttons. In addition, Emacs provides
+many of the benefits of a graphical display even on a text-only
+terminal. For instance, it can highlight parts of a file, display and
+edit several files at once, move text between files, and edit files
+while running shell commands.
