I am using
XEmacs 21.4 (patch 21) "Educational Television" [Lucid] (i586-pc-
win32) of Sun Oct 07 2007 on VSHELTON-PC2
Info node "(xemacs)Edit Options" describes two commands
"list-options"
and "edit-options" which don't seem to exist in my XEmacs. The second
of these is also mentioned in Info node "(lispref)Defining Variables"
and in node "(lispref)Style Tips". They appear to have something to
do with customization of variables.
Hello Alan!
Thanks for reporting this stale documentation!
Please use
(info "(xemacs)Easy Customization")
instead.
XEmacs-Beta:
I think
(info "(xemacs)Edit Options")
should be removed entirely from 21.4 and 21.5.
References to edit-options were removed from documentation strings of
defvar and defconst in 2000.
See
http://www.xemacs.org/Releases/21.2.35.html
and
http://www.xemacs.org/Releases/21.1.11.html
NB:
I can't find any traces of the actual removal of list-options and
edit-options commands from XEMacs in sources nor ChangeLog files.
GNU Emacs still has a file lisp/obsolete/options.el in my
not-quite-up-to-date CVS working directory.
Best regards!
Adrian
