Folks,
  If you look closely at the quoted material above, you will note that I
did not make the extravagant claims about microEMACS which get flamed.
I was quoted by the person who made the claims ( "> >>" versus "> >").
I wish Greg had simply omitted me entirely, but I accept that it probably
was inadvertant to include me in a manner which implied they were my words.

  For the record, I do not claim that microEMACS is "the ultimate editor."
It does do a lot of things fine and is available for lots of machines.
Jove, etc. are fine also.  Editors are religious issues so whatever works 
for you....
