alt Hacker News> assuming some comfort with emacs is presumably OK in a manual for the software!
How do you get familiar with the software, if the manual expects you to be an expert in it already?

I got familiar with vi by reading a book that had the main vi commands listed out. First learnt how to quit without saving changes, the rest was just practice.

By reading introductory material.
Not sure if it did at the time, but today emacs comes with a tutorial. You’re not expected to learn it by starting on page 1 of the manual.
