- This directory contains the NeXTstep front-end to GNU Emacs. This
- is the README for version 3.0.1.
-
- NOTE: Emacs-3.0.1 works only on machines running NextSTEP 3.1 or higher.
-
- The "Emacs" front-end has several advantages over running GNU emacs
- inside Terminal. The "Alternate" key works as a meta key (as God
- intended it to be :-). The "Cut" and "Copy" menu commands send the
- region to the pasteboard. The "Paste" menu command sends the
- pasteboard to the current buffer and the "Undo" menu command works as
- expected. Mouse clicks are interpreted in a reasonable manner (see
- the help window and/or lisp/eterm-fns.el for details). In addition,
- you can make Emacs the default editor. And as if that weren't enough,
- it also comes with a cutesy icon.
