Tried emacs - - - - my mentor suggested not to but it was his go to - - - - boy was I out in the weeds and it seemed everything I tried made it more difficult. Today I use geany as an editor - - - its not for a purist but its handy and I love the search function. (just have not been able to get that working in either of vi nor emacs which is one reason why emacs got pitched!) So - - - I'd bet this procedure in emacs is hard coded - - -yes? Sigh - - - - still back to looking for unobtanium I think. Thanks! -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
