37 % The reference card looks OK with 2 columns per page, portrait mode.
38 % I haven't tried it with 3 columns per page.

259 % trim this down to fit everything on one page
261 % In dired, you can edit a list of the files in a directory (and optionally
262 % its subdirectories in the `ls -lR' format).
264 % Editing a directory means that you can visit, rename, copy, compress,
265 % load, byte-compile files. You can change files' attributes, run shell
266 % commands on files, or insert subdirectories into the edit buffer. You can
267 % "flag" files for deletion or "mark" files for later commands, either one
268 % file at a time or by all files matching certain criteria (e.g., files that
269 % match a certain regexp).
271 % You move throughout the buffer using the usual cursor motion commands.
272 % Letters no longer insert themselves, but execute commands instead. The
273 % digits (0-9) are prefix arguments.
275 % Most commands operate either on all marked files or on the current file if
276 % no files are marked. Use a numeric prefix argument to operate on the next
277 % ARG files (or previous ARG if ARG $<$ 0). Use the prefix argument `1' to
278 % operate on the current file only. Prefix arguments override marks. Commands
279 % which run a sub-process on a group of files will display a list of files
280 % for which the sub-process failed. Typing y will try to tell
281 % you what went wrong.
283 % When editing several directories in one buffer, each directory acts as a
284 % page, so C-x [ and C-x ] can be used to move between directories.
