	I find that this version of emacs is a vast improvement
over what I was using, the uemacs that I snarfed from HZ100
sometime back.
	It is much faster on the screen and handles the screen
and cursor movements in more the way I would have hoped.
	I never liked the way the old uemacs did half page
scrolls forward and backwards on C-N and C-P commands near the 
top and bottom of a window. It was always difficult to display
exactly the section I wanted of a file.
	Freemacs keeps the cursor a few lines away from the top or
bottom and scrolls one line at a time with these commands giving you
a view of what is coming or going from the cursor before it is completely
gone.
	There are lots of other neat features that I haven't got
far into yet, but overall, I am very happy with the change.
