Message-ID: <3DFF49F4.4080601@ftml.net> (raw)
I just downloaded emacs 21.2 for windows. I haven't used it before. I'm
just getting used to navigating and using the control and meta key
commands. Right now I'm kind of overwhelmed by the features available in
emacs. I find it a bit difficult to follow the gnu emacs manual for a
first read. Could someone provide me with links to get started with
emacs? Also I have a few doubts:
1. I use many scripting languages like PHP, ASP, and Python. If I want
to write my own syntax hilighting for a particular language how do I do it?
2. I have an IMAP mail account. I configured gnus to retrieve mails from
my IMAP account but I couldn't see all folders. Is there an email client
for emacs which would let me use my IMAP account with ease, like moving
messages between 2 folders?
3. I use various C++ compilers. How do I configure emacs to compile my
program using a particular compiler?
4. How do I create a custom spell-check dictionary?
Thanks.
