- MicroEmacs was just posted to cba2. Get that. It will work under
- both GNO and Orca. Use it...learn to live it...love it. That is
- probably the best editor that we have available right now. I'd use
- it if I were you. It takes a bit to get used to EMACS in general, but
- once you do, it's quite a nice editor. USE IT!
