This maybe doesn't apply to the OP, but I've seen MacOSX users who don't even 
know what a "terminal" is, let alone how to open one (being a Linux user 
myself, I also had some trouble finding a way to open a terminal when I first 
sat in front of a Mac machine on one occasion).

So, is there a way to find out the emacs version from within a running emacs 
instance itself?

Best, :-)
