I tried my best to edit it in both quanta and xemacs, and I gave up. There's no end tags for any of the sections or chapters. I don't really mind there being no end tags if each chapter was a file, but the whole thing is one big file, and I'm at a loss to see how it's being edited. Usually, when files get that big, I try to split them up into smaller files.
I'll probably just write a simple text file in my spare time. I just downloaded and installed the newest files (3.2.12-exp1). I'm about to try them out. -- Thanks: Joseph Rawson
