I have been reading the ad about UniPress Emacs 2.2 which claims Emacs
2.2 has a built-in Hypertext (data retrieval mechanism). Could anyone
tell me what this facility offers (i.e. how close to a useable Hypertext
system it is) ? I hope this is not the Info facility ... (:-( .

Is there anything comparable in GNU Emacs ?

I have to decide which Emacs we should get and I would very much appreciate
a usable hypertext extension to Emacs (automatic cross-indexing of
files containing a selected word). Otherwise I haven't noticed too many
differences between the two versions.

thanks for any response. Please mail and I'll summarize to the net if
responses warrant it.
