->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 )
I just jumped right in and started using emacs in xwins cause
someone told me you could do anything with it and well, you can. And while
I haven't read or studied the manual, I've had no problems using it to do
what I do a lot of (html and perl) around here.
But without xwins I can't do anything with it, to the point where
I have the plug to shut it down. It probably has to do with the
keybindings you mentioned, but I have tried the obvious possibilities even
though such hasn't helped much in learning the rest of Linux...
The way I see this, if I could just access the basic menu
functions I could figure out the rest.
Simply, I figure that an F key or a control something ought to
bring up some kind of menu. But all I can get at is the help functions and
I'm not quite sure of how I did that as I was just banging on key
combinations hoping I could find a way to escape without dumping the
system.
