Emacs was my first editor on Linux for a different reason: when Jijo lent me his Redhat 6.2 CDs some years ago, Emacs was the nearest available to a modeless text editor, and the default install didn't include any other text editor at the GNOME panel (as the menu entry was Text Editors->Emacs). I didn't know then the keystrokes (just used icons at the menu bar, then tried experimenting with the save command Ctrl-x Ctrl-s). Sure was easier to grasp compared to vi (as I really didn't know about vi being a modal editor). It took me quite some time to get accustomed to vi (which was made worse with my first try of Debian defaulting to nvi). -- Paolo Alexis Falcone [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
