Oops. I misspoke myself. You're right, a microGNU had damn well better
handle C-t the same way GNU does. And mg1a DOES. I did C-t, and saw
that the two characters behind the cursor had been transposed. But of
course, the cursor had moved, so.....

I'll admit now that mg does not do QUITE what GNU does. It won't
handle the case of the cursor being on the first character of a line -
it just beeps rather than do something different, though.

How about an elisp (the GNU Emacs LISP)? Designed by a Zeta-LISPer, at
a guess.

Sorry, but no. It's still based on v30. I personally think that
putting a LISP-like language underneath any of the micro-emacs's would
be a mistake. The lisp/C interface would be at the wrong level.

Maybe Gold Hill will do a 68K version of their common lisp, thus
giving you GLEmacs, sourced in LISP.
