Back to Emacs ============= I rediscovered emacs recently. I think it was GNU Octave I've installed from the ports, that caused the system to install emacs. A great editor for programs and plain text. I saw a little problem with it whil updating the gophermap file because the tab came out a regular space. That's no problem at all because when you write a computer program or a plain text document, you cannot just write it the way you want to, so you better tell wmacs that adding a tab is what you intend to do by pressing -q before the tab. Another thing is that the role of keys is not the same as in modern editors: C-x C-s to save a file, for instance. C-s is for searching inside the document, and the search is incremental and finds occurences of the requested text immediately. Emacs can work either on a new window or on the terminal. In addition there are some built in applications, such as a chatbot known as the psychotherapist, a web browser, an IRC client, some games, etc. Install and explore the menus!
