I know there is provision for a non TV tty. This provides you ZMACS and Lisp Listener. Anything else requires mouse/graphics. I wouldn't reccommend it though. Maybe just to check up on thinks from home or a quick hack on a remote site. This just demonstrates how powerful (and dependent you can get upon) the development environment. This comes from looking through source code. I know the Lisp Listener works, but does anyone know if ZMACS still supports this. Might be sortof tricky to do a Select-E? -- Eric A.
