And rightly so, your post has no relevance to the discussion at hand.

If you have XWindows on your unix machines why not just use XEmacs? It's Emacs with a WIMP interface bolted on top. It's rather pleasant to use even though it is still Emacs. I only use it for M-x tetris.

I love vim. [grin] Love it so much.
My lecturer still uses it to read his email.

I ran emacs once just to see what it was like, spend half an hour trying to figure out how to close it and in the end had to restart my computer.

Probably my stupidity though. I'm not dissing emacs.


C-x C-c. Might want to read more about Emacs before using it again, though. You could have used Ctrl-z, then killed the process, anyway. Or if you had multiple TTYs open, you could have just switched to another TTY and killed it from there.

Nah. If I ever get a linux distro again, it's joe joe joe all the way for me.
