I believe that this could also be accomplished (in a simpler but less
interesting way) by setting the geometry resource in your ~/.Xdefaults
file. Something like the line "emacs.geometry: 87x28", though I
double check that.

Use a function such as
xemacs() {
if [ -n "$DISPLAY" ]; then
command xemacs -geometry 87x28 "$@"
else
command xemacs "$@"
fi
}

I can't answer your question directly, but: -- You _can_ use xemacs on the console; try "xemacs file". -- Debian 2.0 deals with this properly, and if everything works properly you can have no less than four Emacsen simultaneously present on your system, and they'll all work properly. -- _ / \ "Dad was reading a book called | David Maze | _Schroedinger's Kittens_.

Can emacs and xemacs coexist?
I've got xemacs installed on my stable Debian 1.3.1, and it works just fine, but I want to use emacs for file viewing and manipulation in a normal console because I don't like vi. I tried to install emacs in dselect but it tells me I have to take components of xemacs out, because they conflict. Is this a small conflict that would be OK to force using dpkg, or do I have to choose between them? Thanks, Tristan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
