Drumroll - and now the conclusion: emacs and the X Window System tip: Since version 19, GNU emacs has fully embraced the X Window System environment. If you start emacs from a terminal emulator window running in a graphical environment, you will bring up the X interface (GUI) to emacs. This book does not cover the graphical interface; use the -nw option when you start emacs to bring up the textual interface in any environment. See "Starting emacs" below. Mark G. Sobell: "A Practical Guide to Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming" (third edition, 2012), page 216. (He spells Emacs with a lowercase "e", perhaps to make it consistent with the command to invoke it.) Yes, that was certainly something *ancient*, so there I was dead wrong. But my memory isn't perfect. I mean, the comparison with Charles Xavier - I always said that was exaggerated... -- Emanuel Berg - programmer (hire me!
