Especially the OP who is totally new to Emacs and non-GUIs should really heed this advice ;) No, people come to Emacs and the shell/CLI world not because it is "the next level" after "mastering" the GUIs ("mastering a GUI" - a contradiction in terms btw). No, it is a matter of personality. It *is* more powerful but it isn't more difficult. A kid can do it. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
