emacs Tutorial


Emacs is the recommended editor for UNIX. The x-windows versions, xemacs and d0emacs have nice menu options such that learning the Emacs commands is virtually unnecessary. The best tutorial is simply to open a file and play.

To setup and invoke the x-windows version of emacs, type:
 	% setup xemacs
	% xemacs filename
Remember that in order to run an x-windows application, the DISPLAY environment variable must be set appropriately. To see its current definition, type:
	%printenv DISPLAY 
To change the DISPLAY variable:
	%setenv DISPLAY your-graphical-terminal:0.0 

See the UNIX at D0 page for more editing details.
