-@code{mixvm} can be run within an Emacs GUD buffer using the elisp
-program @file{misc/mixvm.el}, kindly contributed by @value{PHILIP}.
+@sc{MDK} includes extensive support for Emacs. Upon installation, all
+the elisp code is installed in @file{PREFIX/share/mdk}, where
+@file{PREFIX} stands for your installation root directory (e.g.
+@file{/usr/local}). You can copy the elisp files to a directory that
+is in your load-path, or you can add the above directory to it.
+Assuming that the installing prefix is @file{/usr/local},
+you can do it by adding to your @file{.emacs} file the following line:
+
+@lisp
+(setq load-path (cons "/usr/local/share/mdk" load-path))
+@end lisp
+
+@code{MIXAL} programs can be written using Emacs and the elisp program
+@file{share/mdk/mixal-mode.el}, contributed by @value{PIETER}. It
+provides font locking, interactive help, compiling assistance and
+invocation of the @code{MIX} virtual machine via a new major mode
+called @code{mixal-mode}. To start @code{mixal-mode} automatically
+whenever you edit a @code{MIXAL} source file, add the following lines

-@file{mixvm.el} provides an interface between @sc{mdk}'s @code{mixvm}
