[comp.edu] bullet-proof emacs for students

mead@miranda.tmc.edu (mead - 1392) (03/05/91)

For the past year we have been teaching our students to use the emacs editor.
It will not surprise many of you that we have had a lot of trouble with the
fat-finger syndrome.  Students get quite frustrated when they stray into regions
of the editor to which they have not been introduced.  I am hoping that someone
out there has access to a modification to emacs which disables all but the most 
essential functions.  Admittedly, which functions are disabled is a matter of 
taste, but keep in mind that my intention is that students be able to use the reduced
emacs with minimal noise.

Thanks for any help.
