Now that I would like to have!  Unfortunately, the "true believers" of
TPU that I have met to date think that it is their solemn duty to wipe
EMACS from the face of the Earth ("What can you do in EMACS that you
can't do in my version of HYPER-EVE.ULTRA-EXTENDED?  You should just quit 
doing it your way and do it mine!").  I'm not totally resistant to change,
I've been through a lot of editors (EDIT (University of Texas), SOS, TECO,
TSO Editor, SPF, CP/M ED, WordMaster, WordStar, MS-DOS EDLIN, Pmate, the 
Borland Turbo Editors, VI, MicroEmacs, GNU Emacs, MG (formerly MicroGnu-
Emacs), etc...), I just like for it to be my choice whenever possible.
