You can get some of this from the tkemc help -> help menu. The file is
named emc/doc/help.txt if you decide to print it out. Xemc and yemc will
also show some kind of a help file.

There is a copy of the NIST EMC software page, sans Matt's picture,
in the same directory. It is named emcsoft.html.

Note - kfm the file browser will show html as a web page whenever you click
on an html file or when a directory has a file named "index.html" in it.
You can turn off this "feature" by clicking on view -> HTML view, but it
keeps coming back. Once I had a blank index.html file in a directory and
when I went there with kfm, I thought I'd lost everything in that
directory, boy did I get a sinking feeling. <duh>
