+- gopher connections using TLS encryption,
- the Finger protocol.
The official home of elpher is gopher://thelambdalab.xyz/1/projects/elpher/.
Once installed, use "M-x elpher" to launch the browser. This will
open a start page which documents the main key bindings and provides
-some links to help kick start your exploration of gopherspace.
+some links to help kick start your exploration of gopher space and
+gemini space.
From here you can move point between links (which may be menu items or
inline URLs in text files) by using TAB and Shift-TAB,
To return to the page you just followed the link from, press "u".
-Elpher caches (for the duration of an Emacs session) both page contents
-and the position of point on each of the pages (gopher menus, query
-results, or text pages) you visit, restoring these when you next visit
-the same page. Thus, pressing "u" displays the previous page in
-exactly the same state as when you left, meaning that you can quickly
-and visually explore the different documents in a menu without having to
-wait for anything to reload.

Of course, sometimes you'll _want_ to reload the current page
rather than stick with the cached version. To do this use "R".
