GNU Emacs doesn't support this functionality." Is the README accurate in its statement? Myself and some others would really like this functionality, and I want to see if it is worth exploring trying to make it happen. Are there major technical problems, philosophical problems or is it simply as matter of having the appropriate man-power for a lower priority feature? -tony
