CALENDAR MODE / DIARY
To enter calendar mode:
Meta-x calendar-mode
To exit calendar mode:
q
By default, the diary file is located at
~/.emacs.d/diary
You can set a different location in your ~/.emcas.d/init.el file:
(setq diary-file "/path/to/alternate-location)
The "Diary" entries in the Emacs manual at gnu.org are very helpful:
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Diary.html
GOPHER SUPPORT
Add the gopher.el file to your ~/.emacs.d/el/ directory, and then add
the line
(require 'gopher)
to your ~/.emacs.d/init.el file.
Use
Meta-x gopher
to enter gopher mode and prompt to enter a gopher url.
Use
q
to exit gopher mode.
Basic usage guidelines can be found on the gopher.el github page.

ENRICHED MODE
To enter enriched mode, open (i.e. 'visit') a new file and type:
Meta-x enriched-mode
If you open a file that was saved in enriched mode, it will
automatically open in enriched mode. One problem I have run
into is that it does not seem possible to edit a compressed
file in enriched mode.
Some enriched mode formatting reminders:
Meta-o-i (Italic)
Meta-o-b (Bold)
Meta-o-u (Underline)
Meta-o-l (Bold-Italic)
Meta-o-d (Return to default text format)
