FWIW, I use GNU Emacs for Windows, from here: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/ Or I use a development (Emacs 23) version from here: http://ourcomments.org/cgi-bin/emacsw32-dl-latest.pl For the latter, I personally use the "Download only latest Emacs unpatched as a zip file" link, but many people prefer the patched version, which comes with its own installer for Windows. In any case, if you try Emacs 23, keep in mind that it is under development (= not stable). I recommend any of the Emacs 22 releases (.1, .2, .3). > I guess you can get FULL-SCREEN emacs display too? (I hope!) Just to be clear - I use Emacs with a window manager (Windows), not in console mode (emacs -nw), and yes, I believe there is something like a full-screen mode. That is, you can make an Emacs frame as big as your screen (which is not exactly the same thing as maximize) - or bigger. Other people can answer better how closely Emacs lets you get to a true full-screen mode - I'm no expert on that. > Question: so that when-code lives in your standard .emacs? Yes. FYI, there is also an Emacs mailing list specifically for Windows: help-emacs-windows@gnu.org
