I am trying to track down the orgin of the term "emacs." Is it an
acronym for something? I have checked several computer dictionaries
in the University Library reference collection but only one had the
term in it, and it told me what emacs is (which I already know).

Can anyone help me out on this? Please reply to my internet address
if you please. Thanks!
