Hi all, Sheesh, I'm not supposed to know this stuff. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong! First, go to the Emacspeak site and read up on how to install Emacspeak. Then, make sure you've installed the GCC libraries for Linux in your distribution. I think that's what they're called. Next, I suggest writing to O'Reilly and getting their book on Learning Emacs. In there, I think it's chapter 11 or 12 is a whole chapter on how to program in Emacs. Good God, a good text editor, "sanctified feces" I like that expression, Bill, thank you! He wants a good text editor. I think Emacs would fill the bill nicely. Now some folks would argue for VI, but I like Emacs. Ann P. -- Ann K.
