I'm not a native user of emacs. (I did wordstar bindings from Turbo C through qedit until the Sun Workstations at Rutgers kept getting really confused by ctrl-s even though joe claimed it was putting the terminal in raw mode when it didn't segfault. Then I switched to vi in self-defense, but have never actually recommended it.) A very, very long time ago I used microemacs on the Amiga for about 6 months, but haven't poked at it since. When we get around to terminal stuff I'd like somebody comfortable with emacs to tell me how the keybindings/behavior are wrong, I can't dogfood that.
