    Remove FAQs they are also in jed_faq
    
    John included in 0.99.19pre136 some FAQs from the README.Debian into
    jed_faq.txt. I've forgot to remove them from README.Debian in version
    0.99.19~pre138.

    Q: When I paste … + Q: How can I … --> 15
    Q: TAB does not … --> 13
    Q: When running Jed … --> 19
    Q: Jed makes a … --> 17
    Q: Why is copy/ … --> 16
    Q: How do I cancel … --> 20
    
    The question ‘Q: My S-Lang …’ I did remove because the upgrade to
    S‐Lang 2 happend long ago.

 (see also txt/jed_faq.txt)
 
-Q: I define keybindings in jed.rc but they are not working. What is wrong?
-A: Jed will load a fallback keybinding-file if you do not specify an
-   emulation in jed.rc overwriting your bindings (see also
-   README.Debian-startup).
-
-   Either select an emulation in jed.rc (as in the example files),
-   or put your keybindings inside a keybindings_hook(), e.g.::
-
-     define keybindings_hook(emulation)
-     {
-        setkey("menu_select_menu(\"Global.&Help\")", Key_F1);
-        % ...
-     }
-
-   If you define all your keybindings without ressorting to an emulation
-   mode, set the variable _Jed_Emulation (e.g. _Jed_Emulation = "cool") to
-   prevent loading the _Jed_Default_Emulation fallback.
-
 Q: My color settings are not working. What's wrong?
 A: If you're using set_color() calls without loading a pre-defined scheme
    with set_color_scheme(), Jed falls back to the _Jed_Default_Color_Scheme.
    To fix your problem, you can set _Jed_Color_Scheme, like
    _Jed_Color_Scheme = "cool".
 
-Q: When I paste indented text into Jed, it misaligns everything (i.e. every
-   succeeding line is indented more than the previous, yielding horizontally
-   cascading text).
-A: In Jed, carriage return is bound to `newline_and_indent'. While this
-   auto-indention is a great help in normal editing, it stands in the way
-   when text is pasted via the mouse. Unfortunately, Jed cannot tell whether
-   its input comes from a keyboard, another program, or the mouse (XJed can).
-
-Q: How can I prevent this?
-A: There are several options:
-
-   a) Use xjed.
-   b) Use the `paste' function
-      1. M-x paste  (or bind "paste" to a key)
-      2. Now paste your text...
-   c) Install jed-extra and use newline_indent().
-      See Help>Describe_Function newline_indent for details.
-   d) Bind "newline_and_indent" to a different key.
-      In jed.rc do e.g.:
-
-         #ifndef XWINDOWS IBMPC_SYSTEM
-         % Fix staircase effect with mouse-pasting in an x-terminal
-         setkey("newline", "^M");
-	 setkey("newline_and_indent", "\eM"); % Alt_Return
-         % Some modes overwrite the Key_Return binding. Restore it:
-         define global_mode_hook (hook)
-         {
-            if (wherefirst(what_keymap() == ["C", "DCL", "IDL", "perl", "PHP"])
-                != NULL)
-               local_setkey("newline", "^M");
-         }
-         #endif
-
-Q: TAB does not generate a TAB! Why?
-A: It does something more useful: indenting the line according to the
-   mode's rules. Use `quoted_insert' for a hard TAB. For the full story,
-   see /usr/share/doc/jed-common/jed_faq.txt.gz, question #13.
-
-Q: When running Jed in an xterm, alt is not sending meta (and meta is not
-   sending escape) so that alt-f and alt-b e.g. don't skip words forwards and
-   backwards respectively.
-A: According to Thomas Dickey (do a google search to see that there is NO
-   arguing here :) this is normal for xterm.  To have alt "work", add
-   'xterm*metaSendsEscape: true' to your .Xresources (or equivalent) and
-   make sure 'xmodmap -e "keysym Alt_L = Meta_L Alt_L"' is executed
-   somewhere at X-startup (modify e.g. ~/.Xmodmap).
-
-Q: Jed makes a difference between a single '/' and multiple '/'
-   in pathnames - e.g. '/usr//bin/' is *not* equal to '/usr/bin/' ! Why?
-A: According to John E. Davis, the author, this is like Emacs behaves, too.
-
-Q: My S-Lang scripts do no longer work.
-Q: After upgrading jed (or xjed), some jed-extra modes are broken.
-A: Since version 0.99.18, jed uses S-Lang 2. See "S-Lang 2 Interpreter NEWS"
-   of /usr/share/doc/libslang2/slang.txt for further explanation.
-
-Q: Why is copy/paste not working on the console?
-A: First, be sure that the gpm package is installed and correctly
-   configured. Copying and pasting in a JED window on the console should
-   then work like in X-Window (with a three button mouse, for instance,
-   select with left button and paste with middle button).  However, for
-   inserting text selected outside the JED window, you should press down
-   the Alt key when pasting with the mouse.
-
-Q: How do I cancel a command that prompts me with "y/n" choices, without a
-   "cancel" otpion?
-A: In Jed, (almost all) actions can be aborted by pressing a configurable
-   "abort character" or calling the function kbd_quit().  The most used
-   default abort character is `Ctrl-G'. Some emulations use a different
-   default:
-    CUA:      `Ctrl-D' (and optional ESC, see cua_escape_cmd())
-    Wordstar: `Ctrl-6'
