We often get a few people using emacs on the X server - and it sure keeps the machine busy as hell. That's why I tell newbies to use use a smaller editor. Like "pico" for example. As soon as they ask me about "search and replace" I show them a slightly better editor. Some even make it to Vi. And only those who want everything in one program get to see emacs. ;-) Sven
