Once you get used to it, you discover that the emacs L&F makes great good sense as well. Another mental perk of emacs is that it subtly (and, if you like, not so subtly) makes you aware of the abstraction layers underpinning computing. Again, you may or may not like this but it is rather unique. Enjoy emacs! Lucien -- If you receive this by error, please delete it and inform the sender.
