2392 @unnumbered rather than @chapter for these indices.
2394 * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
2395 that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
2396 becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
2397 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
2398 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
2399 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
2400 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
2401 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
2402 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...

2404 appear together in the printed manual.

2455 * scheme-io.texi (Writing): Add entry for `display'.

2499 The change log for files in this directory continues backwards
2500 from 2001-08-27 in ../ChangeLog, as all the Guile documentation
2501 prior to this date was contained in a single directory.
