(Top): Use MANUAL_EDITION variable. * scheme-indices.texi (R5RS Index, Guile Extensions Index): Use @unnumbered rather than @chapter for these indices. * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C, including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how to use the snarf macros, how to debug ... (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices appear together in the printed manual. * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Removed appendices.texi, added debugging.texi. * appendices.texi: Removed. * debugging.texi (Debugger User Interface): New file, same as the material that used to be in appendices.texi, but now a chapter in Part II rather than an appendix. * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to become a chapter in ... * intro.texi: ...

(Thanks to Alex Schroeder for noticing that they'd disappeared!) 2001-10-05 Thien-Thi Nguyen * scheme-io.texi (Writing): Add entry for `display'. Include in R5RS Index.
