But I also would like to have a fast-loading Emacs (or Emacs clone) as the value of my EDITOR variable, so that whenever a program requires me to edit text I don't have to wait a long time for the auxiliary editor to come up. Any suggestions? Thanks! kj -- NOTE: In my address everything before the first period is backwards; and the last period, and everything after it, should be discarded.
