All in all one can say that if one needs Emacs one has at least knowledge of ones needs. But then again, manure can be transported with an Rolls-Royce, wich would not be my transportcontraption of choice to do an adequate job. So, one does need to learn to drive a tractor before one can fertilise the fields in a more practicle way. Needless to say that that contraption comes with a boatload of appendages to do more specialised jobs, wich all need to be learned how to use for any particular task at hand. Cor PS: Having a nice sleek looking spoiler on the tractors' roof does look sexy but is utterly useless. -- Mijn Tools zijn zo modern dat ze allemaal eindigen op 'saurus' (defvar My-Computer '((OS .
