And I want to be politically correct of course :-) Emacs is used on almost every UNIX there is, and a few other operating = systems... > 2. Which version should I use/learn/configure?

No, there is no non-X version. emacs AND xemacs can both be used as a X11= = program and as a normal text-program. The keys are the same. The diffrenc= ens = are minor. The diffrence from the description in the xemacs port: XEmacs has similar functionality to GNU Emacs. It uses a different = display model, including support for Motif menu and scroll bars and the ability to run as a widget inside other applications. Many people say it looks nicer than GNU Emacs. > A third, now I'm at it: Does the Windows version (it is on the CD with > the book) really work?
