Marria) Organization: Stanford University Lines: 18 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. Michael
