Could you give us more information? How close to (GNU) Emacs is it.
Does it work on straight text files, or is it some special format
file? Can I edit more that one file at a time? Is it standard ProDOS,
and can I edit files in a ram disk.

If you haven't guessed by now, I'm an Emacs user and Appleworks makes
me barf, so I'm interested in a $10 clone. 

Also, how does someone go about ordering it?

					Thanks
