As others have opined, "emacsen" seems to be in common usage. Others have mentioned GNU emacs in various configurations (including one compiled for Carbon). I'd just like to point out that Andrew Choi (who did(?)/was involved in(?) the <a href="http://members.shaw.ca/akochoi-emacs/index.html">original port of GNU Emacs to Carbon</a> has since retired from OSX GNU Emacs maintainance role, and is now completing a <a href="http://members.shaw.ca/akochoi-xemacs/index.html">port of XEmacs to Carbon</a>. In plain English, this means that XEmacs runs on OSX natively, without needing to run X11 (as in the fink version of XEmacs). N.B. You need to compile from source, but Andrew's instructions are excellent. Hope this helps someone else. (As to why you'd choose between GNU Emacs and XEmacs, that's a well known and aged fork. Google for JWZ's opinion on the subject. In other words, it's a religious war...) _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
