Hi everyone / Dan I'm on digest so appologies for any slow replies, but digest is best for me at work atm.
Anyways, i was reading through and came across this message from Daniel. It's not about emacs or the differences between using xterm/apple's terminal. But i would like to ask people (that are experienced in 'unix' and fink) as to what they have inside their shell's dotfile and also their .profile file too. Can i have a look? :) Reading the below i'm wondering if i've not set up half of the env's that i should! <shrug>? ie, just what should 'Display' be set to in the shell's dotfile anyhow? I'm not at the Mac atm, but iirc, i think mine is set to something like 0:0 I use KDE with Apple's X11 and all is hunky dorey! The only problem i've currently got is trying to install 'vice' using fink. This never works for me, so i downloaded the source and compiled it myself..wow it worked! So now i look back and wonder if my 'profiles' are fine!? I'll post my dotfiles when i get home later, if anyones interested? I'd love to see what the pro's here are using though! :) cheers all, Steve /noob alert - Message: 4 To: [email protected] From: "Daniel E.

All x11 window managers that I've used have command-keys or menus or icon sets that can be customized to contain emacs. OTOH, if your goal is "GUI emacs" and have no other need for x11... > I eventually installed the Carbon Emacs package instead: > > http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/ > carbonemacspackage.html is a good choice. dan DISCLAIMER: The information in this message is confidential and may be legally privileged.
