You can install modules to make it vi-like, but... like... umm... why? ;) > By the way, I just happened to run the "apropos" command, and now it seems > to be compiling something -- and taking a long time doing so! I hope it's M-x apropos RET RET is generally _not_ a good idea. ;) apropos in Emacs does what apropos does on the command-line, 'cept it deals with all Emacs variables, functions, and options. This will take a while. Better idea: M-x apropos RET keyword RET, for example: M-x apropos RET help RET to get all the help functions/variables/commands. Usually more helpful is C-h a (or M-x command-apropos). C-h t gets you a really nice tutorial. -- Sacha Chua <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 4 BS CS Ateneo geekette interests: emacs, gnu/linux, wearables, teaching compsci _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
