Most of the time I actually use Emacs as an x application, but also
often from within an xterm. My experiments with the console are
primarily educational excursions - just trying to figure out how
things work. I won't bother you with more questions on the topic -
I've now been pointed towards a number of resources that will take me
a while to sort through.
