I've tried in the terminal type "emacs" but it tells that emacs is > not a command. Can you help me? If you have installed it yourself, you must know where it's installed. Usually, it's /usr/bin/emacs, or /usr/local/bin/emacs, but it can be anything you specified when installing it (it could be in your home directory, or in /opt, ...). If the standard programs locate and updatedb have been installed on your linux system, then you can locate it with the command: locate emacs When you type a command in the terminal which is not an absolute or a relative path, the shell searches it in directories listed in the environment variable PATH. You can check them with: echo $PATH If the path where the emacs command is, is not listed in the PATH variable, you'll have to add it. If locate emacs outputs: /the/path/where/there/is/emacs then type: PATH=/the/path/where/there/is:$PATH To make this change permanent, modify the startup file of your shell. If you use bash, edit ~/.bashrc, and add in it: PATH=/the/path/where/there/is:$PATH export PATH -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ Cats meow out of angst "Thumbs!
