- This section briefly describes the peculiarities of using Emacs built with
-the GNUstep libraries on GNU/Linux or other operating systems, or on Mac OS X
-with native window system support. For Mac OS X, Emacs can be built either
-without window system support, with X11, or with the Cocoa interface. This
-section only applies to the Cocoa build. Emacs 23 does not support Mac OS
-Classic.
-
- Emacs, when built on Mac OS X, uses the Cocoa application interface. For
-various historical and technical reasons, Emacs uses the term @samp{Nextstep}
-internally, instead of ``Cocoa'' or ``Mac OS X''; for instance, most of the
-commands and variables described in the following sections begin with
-@samp{ns-}, which is short for @samp{Nextstep}. NeXTstep was an application
-interface released by NeXT Inc during the 1980s, of which Cocoa is a direct
-descendant. Apart from Cocoa, there is another NeXTstep-style system:
-GNUstep, which is free software. As of this writing, the GNUstep support is
-alpha status (@pxref{GNUstep Support}), but we hope to improve it in the
-future.

@section Basic Emacs usage under Mac OS and GNUstep
By default, the @key{alt} and @key{option} keys are the same as
-@key{Meta} when running under Mac OS. The Mac @key{Cmd} key is the
-same as @key{Super}, and Emacs provides a set of keybindings using
-this modifier key that mimic other Mac / GNUstep applications (@pxref{Mac /
-GNUstep Events}). You can change these bindings in the usual way (@pxref{Key
-Bindings}).
-
- The standard Mac / GNUstep font and color panels are accessible via Lisp commands.
- To use the color panel, drag from it to an Emacs frame to change the
-foreground color of the face at that position (if the @key{shift} key
-is held down, it changes the background color instead). To discard the
-settings, create a new frame and close the altered one.

+
+ The variable @code{ns-right-alternate-modifier} controls the
+behavior of the right @key{alt} and @key{option} keys. These keys
+behave like the left-hand keys if the value is @code{left} (the
+default). A value of @code{control}, @code{meta}, @code{alt},
+@code{super}, or @code{hyper} makes them behave like the corresponding
+modifier keys; a value of @code{none} tells Emacs to ignore them.

@key{S-Mouse-1} (i.e., clicking the left mouse button
while holding down the @key{Shift} key) adjusts the region to the
@key{S-Mouse-1} normally does (@pxref{Temporary Face Changes}). This
change makes Emacs behave more like other Mac / GNUstep applications.

+ When you open or save files using the menus, or using the
@key{Cmd-o} and @key{Cmd-S} bindings, Emacs uses graphical file
dialogs to read file names. However, if you use the regular Emacs key
sequences, such as @key{C-x C-f}, Emacs uses the minibuffer to read
background color.
