If you don't like the GUI features of the GTK emacs, you can turn them off. I have the following in my .emacs: (menu-bar-mode -1) (fringe-mode 1) and I've disabled the toolbar-mode and scroll-bar-mode using the customize-variable stuff. This gets rid of all the GUI distractions, but you can still use the alt/meta key, which is tricky to do with emacs-nox (at least it was tricky to me last time I tried to do so). Tyler
