Perhaps there should be a "short FAQ" with pointers to the rather daunting
"big FAQ" which is justifiably so big that there will come a time when the
(text) version will be too large to read with QEdit.. but then, all the
more reason to use Emacs compiled with DJGPP.. :)

The idea is that beginners can find the answers for their salvation in the
short FAQ, while the technical stuff about Fat DS and DPMI and whatever
can stay in the big FAQ for the big boys (as it were..)
