Ah, getting to know Emacs. There are some excellent resources for getting to know what's up with this emacs thing: As was mentioned, you can fire up GNU Info on most Linux boxes and read yourself mad. To customize behavior, most 20.x Emacsen come configured with an option customizer under the help menu. Happy Navigating! If you have RedHat there's a FAQ in /usr/doc/emacs<version>. There's a pile of stuff in /usr/share/emacs/<version>/etc that's at least entertaining. Your distro maker may have dropped it into someplace else. The FSF GNU Emacs Manual: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/Manuals/emacs/index.html The FSF GNU Emacs Lisp Intro ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/Manuals/emacs-lisp-intro/index.html The FSF GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/Manuals/elisp/index.html ORA has "Learning GNU Emacs" (gnu-book) and "Writing GNU Emacs Extensions" (giraffe-book), both very well done. The giraffe book concludes with the development of "crossword-puzzle-mode". The last five are available in hard copy from the nice folks at Softpro. I was a vi (and ed) user for 10 years. I didn't even consider emacs until my first brush with Borland Turbo C. The last 4 years I haven't even launched vi willingly. If I need an editor that's always there I can always use ed. ccb -- Charles C.
