I have always hated emacs, but I worked for a long time in an emacs-shop and my fingers learned it. Personally, I prefer graphical environments, but Apple abandoned their habit of innovation and reliability. So it is ironic I am heading towards character interfaces. But it turns out screen is pretty damn useful. The graphical approach would be vnc, but it requires so much more bandwidth. (I am using my cellphone as my internet connection right now. And though the latency is painful, it is plenty fast.) Too bad there aren't any emacs bigots on the list jumping to its defense and telling me how to do this. -kb
