Actually, if I install Emacs before I install X, it will run just fine as a console application. If you have X and the full up Emacs you can run it in an xterm with the "-nw" switch. I'd like to avoid recompiling, as my motive for all this is to be able to re-install quickly from time to time, e.g. for testing purposes. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
