@appendix Emacs and Microsoft Windows/MS-DOS
file-name patterns are supported: if it is non-@code{nil} (the
default), they are treated as shell-style wildcards; otherwise they
are treated as Emacs regular expressions.
+
+@vindex ls-lisp-format-time-list
+ The variable @code{ls-lisp-format-time-list} defines how to format
+the date and time of files. @emph{The value of this variable is
+ignored}, unless Emacs cannot determine the current locale. (However,
+if the value of @code{ls-lisp-use-localized-time-format} is
+non-@code{nil}, Emacs obeys @code{ls-lisp-format-time-list} even if
+the current locale is available; see below.)
+
+The value of @code{ls-lisp-format-time-list} is a list of 2 strings.
+The first string is used if the file was modified within the current
+year, while the second string is used for older files. In each of
+these two strings you can use @samp{%}-sequences to substitute parts
+of the time. For example:
+@lisp
+("%b %e %H:%M" "%b %e %Y")
+@end lisp
+
+@noindent
+Note that the strings substituted for these @samp{%}-sequences depend
+on the current locale. @xref{Time Parsing,,, elisp, The Emacs Lisp
+Reference Manual}, for more about format time specs.
+
+@vindex ls-lisp-use-localized-time-format
+ Normally, Emacs formats the file time stamps in either traditional
+or ISO-style time format. However, if the value of the variable
+@code{ls-lisp-use-localized-time-format} is non-@code{nil}, Emacs
+formats file time stamps according to what
+@code{ls-lisp-format-time-list} specifies. The @samp{%}-sequences in
+@code{ls-lisp-format-time-list} produce locale-dependent month and day
+names, which might cause misalignment of columns in Dired display.

keyboard input in Emacs.
@cindex MS-Windows keyboard shortcuts
- Many key combinations (known as ``keyboard shortcuts'') that are in
-widespread use in MS-Windows programs are taken by various Emacs
-features. Examples include @kbd{C-C}, @kbd{C-X}, @kbd{C-Z},
-@kbd{C-A}, and @kbd{W-SPC}. You can get some of them back by turning
-on CUA Mode (@pxref{CUA Bindings}).
+ Many key combinations (known as ``keyboard shortcuts'') that have
+conventional uses in MS-Windows programs conflict with traditional
+Emacs key bindings. (These Emacs key bindings were established years
+before Microsoft was founded.) Examples of conflicts include
+@kbd{C-c}, @kbd{C-x}, @kbd{C-z}, @kbd{C-a}, and @kbd{W-@key{SPC}}.
+You can redefine some of them with meanings more like the MS-Windows
+meanings by enabling CUA Mode (@pxref{CUA Bindings}).
