2006-10-30  Robert J. Chassell  <bob@rattlesnake.com>

        * emacs-lisp-intro.texi: Many changes since it turned out that
        many `simple' functions were rewritten.  Changes to the text
        regarding zap-to-char, mark-whole-buffer, append-to-buffer,
        copy-to-buffer, beginning-of-buffer, what-line, and possibly
        others.  (I have not reviewed all yet.)  This instance does build
        for Info and TeX.

        contents during compilation.

        * emacs-lisp-intro.texi: Deleted in directory copy of texinfo.tex
        and pointed towards ../man/texinfo.tex so only one file
        needs updating.  Added comment of what to do when building on own.

        * texinfo.tex: Changed to version 2006-02-13.16
        to enable a DVI build using the more recent versions of TeX.
