I like emacs. One of the best things about it is that if you are ever in the need to work over a terminal it works to its full extent via key combinations. Another thing that I like about it is that you can have the window split in half and have one portion of a document on one side and another portion of the same document on the other side where changes to either side are applied to the document in the buffer. This behavior helps when you need to reference a function somewhere on the same script/file from within another and jump back and forth making changes. You don't end up with two files, one with version problems where one has some change and the other has other changes and neither has both. As a note to the group, once I read a message stating that emacs ability to get data off the X windows clipboard was broken. This is not the case, as it is turned off by default. I'm not exactly sure why, but here is the method of turning it on....
edit ~/.emacs Add the line: (menu-bar-enable-clipboard) Emacs also auto indents and matches brackets so you can see which opening bracket matches the closing bracket as you type it. I really like working with it. Larry S. Brown Dimension Networks, Inc.
