Lines: 33 Keywords: HELP, documentation I am the proud owner and user of micro-emacs. I am using it on a pseudo- computer clone (NCR PC-6, for all that it matters). I have the doc files that came with u-emacs, but find them woefully inadequate for anything but getting started. I am in need of pointers to additional documentation or directions on the usage of emacs. Specifically, at this time, I would like to know how to do several things which are trivial in vi, and I am sure can be done easily enough in emacs if one but knew HOW: 1) I would like to know how to mark a section of text (a 'region' in emacs, I believe), and then write that region out to a new disk file, 2) I would like to know how to use regular expression in global search and replace, 3) I would like to know how to have emacs go directly to a given line number in the text file (not upon entry, THAT I know how to do), 4) in general, I would like pointers to information which would permit me to learn to be a competent emacs user. Please e-mail responses, I will summarize to the net if others are interested. Thanks in advance. -- "I grow increasingly alarmed over our tendency to consider the accused to be guilty until they are proven innocent." - me tom keller uucp: {ihnp4, dual}!ptsfa!gilsys!mc68020
