In my Jove documentation, it was "Jonathan's Own Version of Emacs"

Not TOO big. Around 300k or so.

Huh? The only trick was editing one file so I could define function keys to
do some things faster than typing in the command (like F1 being bound to
'apropos') I never could figure out how to invoke 'meta-2' or 'meta-3' from
the keyboad.

Agreed - works beautifully (on my PC at home, Apollos, Suns, DECs, HPs,
SGIs, etc. etc. etc.).

Also, on a PC you can invoke the EGA mode for more lines.

Earl - maybe you have an older version (I picked up my version from the
uunet archives last year) ?
