Brent - what do you mean? Do you mean the mouse does not work, or the key
bindings? I can't tell you why the mouse does not work, but can tell you
that emacs is fully functional without it, it just takes soem learning ( not
that I'm some kind of guru )
Mike - emacs supports a vi mode too. I don't think that's his problem.
