I'm getting further into Common Music, and since the environment is Lisp I figured it's time to learn more about emacs. What little I've learned so far has already enabled me to stay within a single environment for editing, compiling, and running my CM files. It's very cool. No fear, I'll probably stay with vim forever. I write everything with it, it's truly a godsend for a professional writer. But my quest for knowledge drives me onward into dark and dangerous realms... ;) Best regards, == Dave Phillips The Book Of Linux Music & Sound at http://www.nostarch.com/lms.htm The Linux Soundapps Site at http://linux-sound.org
