Baroque? Hmmmm. Or perhaps a Greek Tragedy? You *could* think of Emacs as a sort of labyrinth, with info and help features acting as Ariadne's thread leading to Richard Stallman at the center playing the Minotaur! Except in the Emacs version we never quite reach the center because Theseus keeps getting sidetracked, customizing the labyrinth as he goes along, changing the lighting, adding new passages and creating shortcuts between tunnels.... b/ ------------------------- Brad Collins Chenla Labs Bangkok, Thailand
