I will put in a plug here for Freemacs available from grape.ecs.clarkson.edu
(128.153.13.196).  I have tried both Jove and MicroEmacs and found Freemacs
nicer.  It is fast, deals well with a mouse and generally gives me the
kind of warm fuzzy feeling i like to get from a well built program.  

It also has a built in programming language, indeed it seems to be built on
a kernel and everything above the kernel is in that language.  I modified
the c-mode to do more what i wanted than the original did, and though the
language took a bit to figure out, it did not take very long to manage
the modifications.  The biggest problem is that the language is terse to
the point of illegibility - but that is probably how the speed is managed.
(Now if only i could figure out why deleting a file in Dired doesnt work).

I like this emacs and heartily recommend it.
