There were a couple long threads about the naming. My recollection is that RMS required that there be a single name and that it not include the word "emacs". Given those constraints, this is what I picked. I can dig up references if you want. If we're going to reopen the naming discussion, I would like to request that everybody go and read the whole thread for themselves before making suggestions. Tom
