DM> Thanks for the Emacs, Paul.

No worries.  I should have warned you about a couple of things though. With
the default key bindings you need to go ctrl-x, ctrl-c to exit which is not
particularly intuitive.

In fact, you should go to the emacs.mss file, and copy out the cheat sheet
which is near the end of the file, to avoid frustration.

Once you get used to it, it's just like any other editor, except free,
comes with source code, and available on most platforms.

Let me know of any keystrokes you can't figure out, because I've had a fair
bit of dealing with it.  Let me know what you think, anyway.

Remember that one of them lets you edit 16 meg files!  BFN.
