I personally have only tried Emacs a couple of times, and I absolutely hated it, but a book might help give me somewhere to start. The main thing I'm wondering is how up to date it is, and how well it would apply to different/newer versions, e.g. GNU Emacs 20 (the URL above mentions 19.30) or Xemacs, for example? -- Ben Smithurst / ben@scientia.demon.co.uk / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
