In the process, you may learn to play with other stuff, too. I think a five year old might appreciate the association of an event, such as a keypress, with a sound or small animation. Towards this end, i would suggest you try `M-x zone RET' a few times, until you find something that interests you in the sense of "that's pretty cool, but why doesn't it do ____?" If you find the right questions to ask, Emacs is then ready to help. thi
