I got used to the power of Gnu Emacs (on Suns and Vaxes) and the EPSILON editor on the PC, though good, is no match. I know that because of DOS limitations one can only expect a subset of the REAL thing. Note: I have tried FREEMACS, but it is a limited subset of Gnu Emacs. Also, many of the commands don't behave in the same way as Gnu Emacs; for example list-buffers (which uses buffer numbers instead of buffer names) and file name completion. Babu Srinivasan
