From: Benjamin Kuipers <BEN@MIT-MC.ARPA> What is the most emacs-like editor for the //e? I realize that the mass market doesn't like the profusion of single-character commands, and the use of control, meta, and control-meta characters. However, it would certainly be feasible (I think) to use open-apple for a meta-key. In that case, has anyone put together a real emacs for the //e. If not, how close can I get? Thanks. Ben Kuipers

The most similar editor that I have found to Emacs under Apple-Dos is Pie Writer. It uses control characters and escape-control characters for commands. It is not in the same league as the CP/M editors such as Mince or Perfect Writer, but the style is similar to Emacs and roff. Keith R.
