Also, does AMACS have mouse cursor positioning, or is it entirely key-based (I use a Kermit enhancement to use mouse cursor positioning with mainframe Emacs, GNUEmacs, and so on; it makes editing so much easier)? Can it work from a ram disk (like the Applied Engineering Z-Rams)? Does it support extra memory in other ways? Thanks for any information, Mark Crimmins crimmins@csli.stanford.edu
