-Everyone writing code will know how important a good editor is. Most
-systems already come with Emacs. @sc{mdk} adds support to Emacs for
-both writing and debugging MIX programs, see (@pxref{Emacs support})
-for installing instructions. This chapter discusses the support for the
-writing code, see (@pxref{mixvm.el}) for the discussion of the MIX
-virtual machine support.
-
-When everything is installed correctly, Emacs will select the right
-mode for editing files ending with @code{.mixal}. If however you would
-want to load mixal-mode on another file, you can do so with @code{M-x
-mixal-mode}.

-The mode for editing mixal source files is inherited from
-fundamental-mode, meaning that all your favorite editing operations
-will still work. If you want a short introduction to Emacs, type
-@kbd{C-h t} inside Emacs to start the tutorial.
-
-Mixal mode adds font locking. If you do not have font locking globally
-enabled, you can turn it on for mixal-mode by placing the following
-line in your @file{.emacs} file:
-
-@lisp
-(add-hook 'mixal-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
-@end lisp
-
-You can also customize the colors used to colour your mixal code by
-changing the requisite faces. This is the list of faces used by
-mixal-mode:
-
-@itemize
-@item @var{font-lock-comment-face}
-Face to use for comments.
-@item @var{mixal-font-lock-label-face}
-Face to use for label names.
-@item @var{mixal-font-lock-operation-code-face}
-Face to use for operation code names.
-@item @var{mixal-font-lock-assembly-pseudoinstruction-face}
-Face to use for assembly pseudo-instruction names.

-When coding your program, you will be thinking, looking up
-documentation and editing files. Emacs already helps you with editing
-files, but Emacs can do much more. In particular, looking up
-documentation is one of its strong points. Besides the info system
-(which you are probably already using), mixal-mode defines commands
-for getting particular information about a MIX operation code.
-
-With @kbd{M-x mixal-describe-operation-code} (or its keyboard shortcut
-@kbd{C-h o}) you will get the documentation about a particular MIX
-operation code. Keep in mind that these are not assembly (MIXAL)
-pseudoinstructions. When the @code{point} is around a MIXAL
-pseudoinstruction in your source file, Emacs will recognize it and
-will suggest the right MIX operation code.

-After you have written your MIXAL program, you'll probably want to
-test it. This can be done with the MIX virtual machine. First you will
-need to compile your code into MIX byte code. This can be done within
-Emacs with the command @kbd{M-x compile} (@kbd{C-c c}). In case of
-compilation errors, you can jump to the offending source code line
-with @kbd{M-x next-error}.
-
-Once the program compiles without errors, you can debug or run
-it. To invoke the debugger, use @kbd{M-x mixal-debug} (@kbd{C-c d}).
-Emacs will open a @code{GUD} buffer where you can
-use the debugging commands described in @xref{mixvm}.
-
-If you just want to execute the program, you can do so with @kbd{M-x
-mixal-run} (@kbd{C-c r}). This will invoke mixvm,
-execute the program and show its output in a separate buffer.
