+GNU Emacs is a self-documenting, customizable, extensible real-time
+display editor.
+
+Users new to Emacs will be able to use basic features fairly rapidly
+by studying the tutorial and using the self-documentation features.
+Emacs also has an extensive interactive manual browser. It is easily
+extensible since its editing commands are written in Lisp.
+
+GNU Emacs's many special packages handle mail reading (RMail) and
+sending (Mail), outline editing (Outline), compiling (Compile),
+running subshells within Emacs windows (Shell), running a Lisp
+read-eval-print loop (Lisp-Interaction-Mode), automated psychotherapy
+(Doctor :-) and many more.
