I was never able to pry a manual out of anybody, but I did successfully manage to use it without a manual. The bindings (as I recollect) are Gosmacs compatible, and the only peculiarities I can remember are (1) it asked you what terminal type you were on each time you ran it; (2) some frequently used Emacs characters (I can't remember which ones, but ^S comes to mind) got trapped by the system. You might check Craig Finseth's periodic posting of Emacs-inspired editors for more info. -- \ Vincent Manis "There is no law that vulgarity and \ Department of Computer Science literary excellence cannot coexist." /\ University of British Columbia -- A.
