I am very impressed with the latest version of Emacs that has been
posted.
A few comments:
-if you hit F10 you just exit, no questions asked. I find
this a little scary.
-When run in colour mode, I only have a colour tv, so it is
not worth using, the characters are difficult to read.
So, I am using the Hi50 program in monochrome. I would love
to modify Emacs 3.7 to use all 50 lines on the screen.
Source would be nice...
-I opened my monitor and expanded the vertical resolution.
Definately a very good idea. 50 lines was pretty scrunched
before, and now it seems almost as legible as 25 line mode.
(Yes, circle generated by graphics programs are a little too
tall, but I am not complaining... as an aside, can I expand
the horizontal size too??? I didn't see any obvious way to
do it.
Thanks

Two more comments: 1. Saving to disk is incredibly slow with microemacs 3.7 (I experience "long" waits even saving to a ramdisk) 2. The black border is a nuisance. Any chance we may be given the sources to correct these problems?
