->I'm involved in getting a bunch of PC users to use a bunch of
->Suns. I know for fact that it's possible for write a script
->which will make emacs emulate WordStar.
Gagg, barf, bleeah, what are you saying?!?! Are you sure a Sun is enough
horsepower to have Emacs running AND emulating a stooooopid PeeCee (if not
CP/m) editor? Perhaps an RS6000 might do.

The suits up at the Senat decided all schools in Berlin should use UNIX computers. The teachers all have PCs at home. vi is extremely difficult to teach and use. emacs is wonderful for hackers, but people get frustrated by the fat-finger-syndrome (or do you never type C-v for C-b?). wordstar (which they know) for emacs? Wonderful! I installed the wordstar.el file and it worked beautifully! Don't knock the PCs! Not all of us have the loose change to buy Cybers and Crays and whatnot! -- Debora Weber-Wulff snail: FU Berlin, ZI Fachdidaktiken, Habelschwerdter Allee 45, W-1000 Berlin 33 email: weberwu@inf.fu-berlin.de, dww@math.fu-berlin.de
