   perusing the various newsgroups it seems like there are three dominant
   ones: Freemacs & MG, both PD, and Epsilon's commercial product.  Not
   1. Which do you prefer and why?

I've used Freemacs and Epsilon on my Zenith Minisport. They're both
adequate for typing text and that's really all I use them for. I
prefer using Freemacs since it comes with a speller and provides an
exellent extension language.

However, there's one irritating bug/feature about Freemacs - it masks
my calls to the resident thesaurus. I am addicted to WordFinder which
looks up a word while in an editor. Alt-F1 tries to find synonyms for
the word by the cursor - this works fine in WordStar (ugh..), SideKick
and Epsilon, but fails in Freemacs. This is probably not the best way
to contact Russell Nelson who did the thing, but if someone has a fix,
let me know.

   there. I realize that Epsilon may run counter to rms' policies, but
   I'm prepared to take the moral consequences of actually *buying*
   something GNU-like.

It's a waste of money, the GNU products are in most cases superior to
the commercial versions. If they aren't -- someone (maybe you) will
make them better..
