Why no links to web pages, or videos? Or indeed, in-line images. There aren't many web pages worthy of being linked to, but yes, the few out there should be shown. > If there is interest in incorporating it, I'd be willing to rewrite it. I'd welcome a new tutorial, that takes the same idea as the original one (i.e. a kind of "participative reading") but focuses on more powerful features such as keyboard macros, sexp-based movement. Of course, it should still include explanations about the C-foo notation, the concept of buffers and windows, etc... Advertising things like Org mode would also make a lot of sense. If it could be visually more appealing, it would be a plus. Stefan
