For the benefit of the person who queried the existence of Doctor, let me add that if you happen to have too much time on your hands as well, don't listen to the Styx song by that title, but try performing psychoanalyze-pinhead, save it to a file, then make a copy that is piped through a translator called jive. This may only be on my system, I'm not sure (source available--somewhere), but the final file yields quite humorous results for those of you looking to have fun with emacs. Also, try typing ESC-x followed by the word: hanoi . This produces a display of the solving of the Towers of Hanoi right in emacs!! The argument is optional, and specifies the height of the stack. Enjoy, and have FUN WITH EMACS! -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | dmpol412@jupiter.nmt.edu | "Ask not what your country can do for you... | | MOSH activist | ask what your country WILL do for you.
