+ ** The option --script FILE runs Emacs in batch mode and loads FILE.
+ It is useful for writing Emacs Lisp shell script files, because they
+ can start with this line:
+ 
+    #!/usr/bin/emacs --script
+ 
+ +++
+ ** The option --directory DIR now modifies `load-path' immediately.
+ Directories are added to the front of `load-path' in the order they
+ appear on the command line.  For example, with this command line:
+ 
+   emacs -batch -L .. -L /tmp --eval "(require 'foo)"
+ 
+ Emacs looks for library `foo' in the parent directory, then in /tmp, then
+ in the other directories in `load-path'.  (-L is short for --directory.)

  ** The command line option --no-windows has been changed to
  --no-window-system.  The old one still works, but is deprecated.

! ** New function `locate-file' searches for a file in a list of directories.
! `locate-file' accepts a name of a file to search (a string), and two
! lists: a list of directories to search in and a list of suffixes to
! try; typical usage might use `exec-path' and `load-path' for the list
! of directories, and `exec-suffixes' and `load-suffixes' for the list
! of suffixes.  The function also accepts a predicate argument to
! further filter candidate files.
! 
! One advantage of using this function is that the list of suffixes in
! `exec-suffixes' is OS-dependant, so this function will find
! executables without polluting Lisp code with OS dependancies.
