Garfinkel But vi isn't faster, Don. EMACS allows you to do a lot of powerful things that would either require many, many keystrokes in vi, or are simply not possible. Examples include running "make" in a buffer and then using ^X^N to jump to the next line in your c-program that generated the error message (even if in a different file). Or reading your mail from within EMACS. Or rebinding the keyboard. Or any number of other things. ................................................................simson It surprizes me that you can see how much power built-in extensibility gives to EMACS, yet you don't seem to realize what NeWS's extensibility means. -Don
