I believe by Richard Stallman's definition, M _was_ an emacs (and so was
PWB after it).  Both were much like emacs in the respect you cite -- you
could re-assign keystrokes at will (though assigning Alt-T to something
destructive would probably be bad form, since that's the default combo for
the "Tell" function).

MS' macro language isn't the same as eLisp, but it's far too close for comfort.

For anybody who's crazy enough to care, MS continued to develop this editor
long enough that there's a Win32 version (which may even still be included
in the Platform SDK -- it used to be in the Win32 SDK).


         Later,
         Jerry.
