At $5 a shot, I'd probably buy a GNU manual before I port GNU emacs to our
system (not likely to be soon, because UNOS is much closer to SYSTEM V than
to 4.?BSD).  At $10, I'd likely wait until after.  However, in either case,
$10 is certainly reasonable for the amount of information, and $5 immensely
so.

[ Random thought of the day:  How about writing an ITS-compatible TECO for
UNIX, so we can bag this LISP-fakery?-)  I've even got a TECO manual, its
only an inch and a half thick...]

I have a bad habit of thinking of tremendously witty .signatures just before
I fall asleep.  If I kept paper by my bed, you'd probably be laughing
uncontrollably at this very moment.  Sorry.
