Hi,

In the man page for emacs it says:

     Emacs manual.  The TeX source to the manual is also included

Printed 8/13/89         1987 September 1                        5

EMACS(1)            UNIX Programmer's Manual             EMACS(1)

     in the Emacs source distribution.

FILES
     /usr/local/emacs/src - C source files and object files

     /usr/local/emacs/lisp - Lisp source files and compiled files
     that define most editing commands.  Some are preloaded; oth-
     ers are autoloaded from this directory when used.

     /usr/local/emacs/man  -  sources  for  the  Emacs  reference
     manual.

     /usr/local/emacs/etc - various programs that are  used  with
     GNU Emacs, and some files of information.

     /usr/local/emacs/etc/DOC.*  -  contains  the   documentation
     strings for the Lisp primitives and preloaded Lisp functions
     of GNU Emacs.  They are stored here to reduce  the  size  of
     Emacs proper.

     /usr/local/emacs/etc/DIFF discusses  GNU  Emacs  vs.  Twenex
     Emacs;
     /usr/local/emacs/etc/CCADIFF discusses  GNU  Emacs  vs.  CCA

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In fact, there is no such directory as /usr/local/emacs

(navigator)/mit/metis/emacs[39]% cd /usr/local/emacs
/usr/local/emacs: No such file or directory

This should be corrected to whatever the right thing is, probably
/usr/athena/lib/gnuemacs


Thanks for your help.
