Well, you could > perhaps run emacs in xterm instead. :) > > emacs -nw There are many differences between using Emacs with -nw in xterm and using it in a Linux VT/tty/"the console". For example, xterm requires you to use X. Most of the time that isn't a problem, but sometimes your system may be in a compromised state, and you don't have X access. Of coures, that never happens to me (cough) The biggest differences are how you configure the keys and the fonts and the colors. In the console, that is completely in the console. In X, some of it is in X (by way of xterm), some of it is Emacs. It is not really that one is better than the other. Rather, if you started with one, you probably have a better understanding and your mind is quicker to execute whatever you want to do. So at that point, probably you should stick to the one you like and know the best. Fonts, colors, and keys, mostly in the console but some X stuff as well: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/cols/www/ http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/zsh.html -- underground experts united
