I recently picked up a copy of microEMACS from the net. I have only used
it for about a half hour quick test, but it seems to be very nice.

The document that arrived with the program unpacked ok, but was truncated
in the first paragraph of Section 14.3 -- Randomness.  Is there any way
to get the missing end? Is there anything of value there? Is there any
documentation for some of the mac-specific features anywhere?

Whenever I edit a largish file and then exit with C-X C-C I get a System
error bomb, ID=02.  Exits via the File menu appear to work, and exits when
the amount of text being edited is less than a screenful also seem to work,
even by the C-X C-C route.  I am using microEMACS version 0.6. (And
a 512K old mac, and Finder 1.1g)

Is this editor reliable? I need to use something for a two week period in
a remote location, and I am reluctant to rely on microEMACS given that 
I made it crash with such a common command. I also have WORD and MacWrite
but all I want to do is edit text, and microEMACS seems like what I want.

cmcl2!rna!kc	sticky bit?
