## Summary

Emacs has been enabled to control all stages of the development process, from the most basic of functions to high-level functions such as debugging. You now know how to control all your sources within a version control system such as RCS, and how to provide detailed queries into the repository.

Not only is your code safe, but you can compile, you can fix compilation warnings, and you can debug your source code. After you fix the bugs, you can start the cycle over again without ever leaving Emacs. These diverse commands all work inside buffers, just as your source code is managed. This means that basic navigation within and between these three tasks is consistent.

Lastly, you are now familiar enough with the tools to make changes in their behavior to suit your specialized needs, taking advantage of the hooks and features that are provided to add unique functionality.
