It sets up key bindings that conform to a common denominator of the Gnome/KDE/OS X/Microsoft Windows human interface guidelines, and provides function-key bindings for other powerful Emacs features. It is fully documented, and the new user can productively edit text right away, without going through the Emacs tutorial. Many commonly-used functions can be accessed without having to learn the "chords", or multiple keystrokes that Emacs uses by default. http://www.dur.ac.uk/p.j.heslin/Software/Emacs/Easymacs/ Peter
