A console emacs doesn't have to be so bad. - the "backspace invokes help"-issue goes away after "stty erase '^?'" - you can get more than 16 colors on the console in xterm or rxvt, see http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/XTermColors - xterm-mouse-mode allows you to use your favourite pointing device I have to admit that you don't get a tool bar and the menu looks a bit ugly. But then, who needs these, anyway? 8-) The primary advantage of using emacs in a remote terminal instead of forwarded via X is speed - forwarding an X client over a WAN might feel sluggish. Maybe you should consider using a local emacs and TRAMP to access your remote files. Regards, Anselm -- Anselm Helbig mailto:anselm.helbig+news2009@googlemail.com
