Sometimes I have to wait for someone to reply, but sometimes (like this time) I figure it out myself 5 minutes after posting. memacs 1.4 which comes with 2.0 has an (APPARENTLY UNDOCUMENTED!) Arexx port, CON_EMACS. Any hints and tips on it's use (especially on where I missed the documentation for it and for a Manx QuickFix script) would be appreciated. -- There are two ways to improve on human factors in computing: to make the programmers less stupid and/or to make the users less stupid.
