       | It is remarkable how many things listed in this manual will still

       | surprising that the basic text navigation is unchanged, but it
       | had incremental search (on C-S/C-R). Many computer users might
       | have imagined that this was a recent invention.

       | The M-S keybinding, to centre a paragraph has only be recycled in
       | recent versions of emacs.
       | 
       | And the tags tables (with the visit-tags-table function and M-.)
       | is also there, though I note that language support, particularly
       | for languages that had not been invented, has been widened in
       | recent years.
