So when you launch Internet Explorer, do you expect it to look like it does on Windows? One difference, though, is that Emacs is significantly older than either of these GUIs. Also, Emacs is pretty much defined by its UI; if it adopted the UI of the surrounding environment, it wouldn't really be the same editor. It would be like Bozo the Clown visiting the Middle East and putting on a turban -- his hair is his trademark. -- Barry Margolin, barry.margolin@level3.com Genuity Managed Services, a Level(3) Company, Woburn, MA *** DON'T SEND TECHNICAL QUESTIONS DIRECTLY TO ME, post them to newsgroups.
