Oh yes, I tried it, and it looks rather cool. The problem is, however, that I work quite often from a remote machine, via ssh, and without X. So I believe that in my case it is a good idea to develop habits for using Emacs without the gui, from ground up. If I got to the point of making some effort to learn and use a powerful text editor, I might as well learn it in a way that is platform/gui/os-independent. It should be a good investment of time. Besides, TeX buffer previews notwithstanding, Emacs' gui is just soooo ugly... Just my personal taste here. ;-) Anyway, thanks for the info! :-) Marko
