Please please PLEASE make this optional!  I can't stress enough how much I
dislike dealing with file selectors and such in a text editor.  If I wanted
cute little windows and boxes popping up all over the place I'd use a
GEM-based editor like 1ST-Word Plus, not a Unix-style editor like Emacs.
Thank you for taking this into consideration,
