- I don't know which port the original article referred to, but the GNUEmacs
- V18.58, Amiga port 1.24 that I'm running DOES support mouse commands (left
- button only, as far as I can tell). I don't believe it supports Amiga
- menus, so you'll be spending some time with the help screens. On the whole,
- it's kinda slow with a 68000.
