Let's not get too carried away here.  MPW is a fine environment, but no
way is the MPW editing environment anywhere near as complete as EMACS.

I've used EMACS on many systems (Unix & VMS) and there have been many,
many times when I'm working in MPW that I wished I had the versatility
that the EMACS environment provided.

MPW is getting better, but I hope they put as much work into improving
the editor as they have into SADE and Projector (both nice, but don't
stop there!).
