"While surfing the other night, I ran across a nice Emacs Lisp function for using Google to do context-sensitive help from inside Emacs.I liked how simple it was, and had always been curious about writing some Emacs lisp code (my .emacs file is a random collection of snippets I egregiously pilfered from various locations), so I thought I would enhance the solution by making it aware of what major-
