That's the original emacs, then. Xemacs (formerly Lucid Emacs) is a spinoff from FSF emacs, which is mostly compatible but has some (IMHO) rather nice features, such as highlighting on the console, which is the major user-visible change. That and the fact that it seems significantly slower, of course. :( You can tell them apart in lots of ways; it sounds like yours is the original emacs. The easiest way, though, is whether you type `emacs' or `xemacs' to start it! They also have different Debian package names (compare `dpkg -s emacs' with `dpkg -s xemacs'.) &E -- Andy Mortimer, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.poboxes.com/andy.mortimer PGP public key available on key servers -- It goes dark, it goes darker still; please stay.
