[snip] Ben, Aquamacs isn't the only option for Emacs on Mac OS X, it's actually the worst option for Emacs on Mac OS X, IMHO. Either build a Carbon Emacs 22.3 from macports, or download one of the Emacs 23 pre-release builds from http://porkrind.org/emacs/. Personally, I use Emacs built from macports: $ sudo port install emacs +atsui +carbon Aquamacs is a highly altered version of Carbon Emacs, meant to act more like a Mac application. My problem with it is that it does so at the cost of normal Emacs functionality. But don't take my word for it, hop on #emacs and ask there ;) -- Peter Jones, http://pmade.com pmade inc.
