	   config.h. By default, all available options are enabled. Change

	   about coding systems are written in Ng.doc, so please read it if

means that available commands are depend on the compile time options.

Ng.doc is the most detailed document, which explains CJK supports, internal

6. Bug Report

Bug reports and wishlists are always welcome. Please write send an e-mail to:
	amura@ma3.seikyou.ne.jp

Known bugs are:

a) When kanji-input-code is set to JIS, input of ESC is holded so not
   considered as a part of commands, because escape sesquence for
   invoking Kanji/ASCII also contains ESC.

b) When length of the fill-prefix string, or length of a word happens
   to be longer than fill-column, core dump or hung up must occur.

c) fill-word and fill-paragraph may not work correctly when there's a
   space between multibyte characters and an English word.
