One last comment on this emacs topic...

I've seen many people getting bogged down in get/build process for gnu
emacs.  I'd just like to point out once again that there is another emacs
available on the net, if you can do without a lot of the bells and whistles
that you get with gnu emacs...it's called microemacs.

it probably takes up a quite a bit less memory and doesn't need to be
installed on a disk with 'at least twenty megabytes free'.

SGI doesn't delivery it, as far as I know.  you have to get it off of the
net, or directly from the author, dan lawrence.  I can dig up his net address
if anyone is interested.
