Sending;¬The Basics

Emacs is the NeXTSTEP front-end to the GNU Emacs editor.  It is not emacs itself. You must have emacs already (it is distributed with NeXTSTEP).

¬

This front-end has several advantages over running GNU Emacs inside a generic terminal emulator.  These are:

¬	The Alternate key works as a meta key.

¬	The Cut and Copy menu commands send the region to the pasteboard.

¬	The Paste menu command sends the pasteboard to the current buffer.

¬	The Undo menu command works as expected.

¬	Mouse clicks are interpreted in a reasonable manner.

¬	It comes with a cutesy icon.

¬	Double-clicking on a document can cause Emacs to start up.

¬	Emacs now has a fully functional services menu.

¬	Open and save panels are availible in the file menu.

¬	You can change the font while Emacs is running.

¬	Emacs now works with Project Builder.
