Probably not the answer you want, but as a long-time mac and emacs user, my suggestion would be to use the vanilla os x version of emacs. IMHO, there is no longer any compelling reason to use aquamacs. It was started at a time when the core gnu emacs did not support os x, this is no longer the case. The "nextstep" build of emacs runs as a native app, supports anti-aliased fonts, etc. Personally, i find that the keyboard rebinding in aquamacs just make it it harder to use/learn emacs, as all the documentation, etc, is based on the standard, cross-platform bindings. Once you learn them, you will be able to use emacs on any platform -- mac, windows, unix. Also, your configuration will be portable across all the same platforms. rick
