[NOTES ABOUT ABBREVIATIONS ETC IN LONG HELP]
N = numeric argument of call. If unset, treated as 1 unless stated otherwise.
D = 1 if N is set, else 0.
T1 = first  text argument (if any) that the subroutine or key asks for.
T2 = second text argument (if any) that the subroutine or key asks for.
K = key sequence argument (if any) that the subroutine or key asks for.
marks are numbered 1 2 etseq from the top of the mark stack,
  and also -1 -2 etseq from the bottom of the mark stack. Mark 0 means mark 1.
Mark 999 = where the cursor was before the last command call, so, after acciden-
  tally pressing `end', `esc 999 ctrlX ctrlX' goes back where you were before.
If an empty string is typed for a buffer name, the buffer menu is entered.
If a directory name is typed for a buffer name, the directory displays as a menu
If '=' is typed for a buffer name, it means 'current buffer'.
The kill ring has 16 positions.
End-of-line is treated as a character.
End of sentence is '.' or '!' or '?' with eol or space or tab after.
End of paragraph is blank line or line starting with space or tab.
e.g. {capitalize, 'altC'}: capitalize is subr name, altC is keysequence.
'$' = 'not from macro' = "fault-remark or does nothing when called from macro".
