How do I update Emacs to the latest version?

GNU Emacs FAQ
Most files are placed in version-specific directories. Emacs 22.1, for instance, places files in /usr/local/share/emacs/22.1. Upgrading should overwrite only, /usr/local/bin/emacs (the Emacs binary) and documentation in /usr/local/info. Back up these files before you upgrade, and you shouldn't have too much trouble.

Do I need to uninstall my old version first?

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
It is always recommended to uninstall old versions first. However, it is not a requirement. If there only have been a few small changes between your old and the new version, then you can just install the new version on top of the old version. That should work fine, without any problems. If there have been major changes, then the installer will automatically prompt you that you should uninstall first.

When will the next version be out?

I no longer have any contact with Andy Hanson. As a result, I seriously doubt that we will see another release from him - last I heard, he hasn't worked for 3DFX for a very long time. The Descent2 source code is out, though, so it's possible that someone may produce another derivative work sometime in the future.

Autodocs 1.4: Frequently Asked Questions and User's Guide
Currently, you need at least MS Access 97 to run Autodocs.

You also need to have all of the Access 97 Wizards loaded. (Sometimes, to save space, technicians will load Access without its wizards. If you load Autodocs, and then discover that you are getting error messages about wizards, do not worry.

Is there Emacs support for R?

R FAQ
There is an Emacs package called ESS (“Emacs Speaks Statistics”) which provides a standard interface between statistical programs and statistical processes. It is intended to provide assistance for interactive statistical programming and data analysis. Languages supported include: S dialects (R, S 3/4, and S-Plus 3.x/4.x/5.x/6.x/7.x), LispStat dialects (XLispStat, ViSta), SAS, Stata, and BUGS. ESS grew out of the need for bug fixes and extensions to S-mode 4.

Should I run R from within Emacs?

R FAQ
Yes, definitely. Inferior R mode provides a readline/history mechanism, object name completion, and syntax-based highlighting of the interaction buffer using Font Lock mode, as well as a very convenient interface to the R help system. Of course, it also integrates nicely with the mechanisms for editing R source using Emacs. One can write code in one Emacs buffer and send whole or parts of it for execution to R; this is helpful for both data analysis and programming.

Why does zsh not work in an Emacs shell mode any more?

Z-Shell Frequently-Asked Questions
Emacs 19.29 or thereabouts stopped using a terminal type of "emacs" in shell buffers, and instead sets it to "dumb". Zsh only kicks in its special I'm-inside-emacs initialization when the terminal type is "emacs". Probably the most reliable way of dealing with this is to look for the environment variable $EMACS, which is set to t in Emacs' shell mode. Putting [[ $EMACS = t ]] && unsetopt zle in your .zshrc should be sufficient.

What is an experienced Emacs user?

Frequently Asked Questions: Appendices
Yes, when you use Emacs, you are apt to use the control key, the shift key and the meta key a lot. This is very annoying to some people (notably vile users), and the rest of us just love the hell out of it. Just give up and submit. Emacs really does stand for "Escape-Meta-Alt-Control-Shift", and not "Editing Macros", as you may have heard from other disreputable sources (like the Emacs author).
