Just now I found a kind message from Michaël pointing this out.
I apologize, I was completely unaware of this fact. As I explained
I am a newbie in Linux, so I naively thought
that GNU Xemacs was a sort of adaptation of GNU Emacs in X.
Now I see these are different things, but there was no offense
intended in my message, just plain ignorance.
Thank you for kindly making the situation clear to me.
