I can't think of another editor that has a native browser implementation. Presenting Emacs as an editor is analogous to presenting mathematics as ari= thmetic. I think Emacs is unique enough that the standard categorizations do not suf= fice allowing quite a bit of leeway in choosing an icon. What is the standard sy= mbol for a hosted lisp environment ? :) --Sig_/8PR7DMd3==XpYih1o8jKZ7Y Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHqB8bdfRchrkBInkRAlK8AKDdxfWCFycVopLdQzy652Qm5zyPtgCfU172 v5iWPBT3VvrN4IULz5y4Baw= =j/vc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/8PR7DMd3==XpYih1o8jKZ7Y--
