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.
