Thanks for the 'welcome'... yes the GNU Emacs manual... all 651 pages.
I'll probably print it out. I've installed the xemacs aswell... but
the colour scheme!
I'll see how i get on. I used to like Wordstar years ago but way out
of date. Had a look at Vim but find the commands rather lengthy to be
honest. I want to use emacs for email aswell but we'll have to see.
Thanks for the links - i had those noted i think.
