Well, as in every advanced software, there are many ways to do the same  
thing. JM's solution is the simplest one - not recommendable. With AL's  
solution, you also have to type the filename after C-x-4-b, so you really  
don't get bored :-)

But to be serious: It counts to learn emacs. Not for NeXT only (I prefer  
Edit on NeXT), but there are many other Unix-platforms where the most  
sophisticated editor is called 'vi' - and people do use it ! At least with  
emacs, you can start editing on other unix-platforms.
