Dave, I've used GNU emacs for about 20 years and xemacs for the last four or five. They're both pretty similar, but I like xemacs better for use with X. It's the greatest program ever written, IMHO. :-) Dave Phillips <dlphilp@xxxxxxxxxx> writes: > Well, I'm a complete beginner with any of it.

Here's a pointer that looks helpful... http://www.zogotounga.net/comp/csoundx.html It seems to require emacs version 21 (see below). > Btw, I have emacs 20.7.1 from an RH 7.2 installation and will probably > just use it unless I figure out Xemacs.

I'd recommened installing xemacs version 21. I'm not a Red Hat user, but a quick google seems to indicate that rpmfind has xemacs 21 packages for RH 7.2. > Btw, maybe we should go off-list with this thread ?
